Raju Hirani, who was celebrating the festival for the first time shared, " Maddy had invited me and Ritika for breakfast. but early this morning, he arrived at my residence with a veshti (lungi) and he insisted that I dressed in this traditional attire. Initially i was hesitant, but now I am feeling very nice and comfortable in this."
Ritika too was dressed in a traditional outfit.
The Pongal feast included sweet Pongal ,vegetable Pongal, Pongal Upma, Idli, Mendu wada, Dosa and Pineapple seera.
The trio was seen relishing the Pongal delicacies.
