India, Jan. 14 -- On the occasion of Makar Sankranti today, actor Daisy Shah shares how the meaning of the festival has evolved for her over the years. Recalling her childhood days, she says, "When I was younger, we used to fly kites with my dad. All our relatives would come over, and the terrace would turn into a space where everyone gathered. We ate snacks and spent time together. That remains my strongest memory of the festival." While those moments are still special, Daisy explains that her perspective has changed with time. "As I grew up, I started understanding the impact kite flying might have on birds and animals. I love the festival and all the warmth it brings, but I'm not a supporter of hurting animals and have been vocal about it," she adds. When it comes to festive food, Daisy is no exception, as she believes in balance rather than restriction. "I don't stop myself from eating what I want, but I practise portion control. I eat till it satisfies my taste buds, not till I feel uncomfortable," she shares. The 41-year-old adds that she enjoys homemade food the most, especially traditional dishes prepared during Makar Sankranti. "Since we're Gujarati and it's winter, undhiyu is very well known in our cuisine during this time. We make it and devour it," she says with a laugh. "I'm a foodie at heart! Homemade items, especially tilgul, chikki, and other traditional snacks is what I enjoy the most." For Daisy, Makar Sankranti remains a day to slow down and spend time with loved ones. "It's usually a holiday, so it's a day to be with family, eat the food you enjoy, and spend time in nature if you can. The idea is to enjoy the moment instead of overthinking everything," she ends....
