As the nine nights of Navratri begin, Bollywood actress Rakul Preet Singh spoke about how this festival holds deeper significance beyond its rituals. She described Navratri as a “celebration of women’s strength and power,” emphasising its role in reminding society of the inherent worth and agency of women.

In the interview with Mid-Day, Rakul shared, “On Navratri, it’s all about her power, voice, and standing in society. In our mythology, there is so much importance given to the power of women, and there are festivals celebrating that. I feel these festivals remind us of the power each woman possesses. Women are the most beautiful beings on the planet. We are strong and empathetic. Each woman should rise above the rituals of a festival and understand its true significance.”
For her, Navratri is also a unifying moment—a time when differences fade and people come together in joy. She observed, “It’s beautiful to see so many people forget their daily struggles and differences, dancing to the vibe around and sharing so much happiness, which is special.”
When it comes to fashion for the occasion, Rakul balances tradition with comfort. She said, “Festivals are about sharing joy with people, so I go for comfort and fashion at the same time! For Navratri, I opt for easy, free-flowing Indian outfits, lighter earrings, and pops of bright colours. So I can feel close to my Indian roots, but at the same time, enjoy.”
On the work front, Rakul has several high-profile films lined up. She will reprise her role as Ayesha Khurana in De De Pyaar De 2, co-starring Ajay Devgn and R. Madhavan, scheduled for release on 14 November 2025. She is also set to appear in Pati Patni Aur Woh 2 alongside Ayushmann Khurrana and in the grand Ramayana project with Ranbir Kapoor and Yash.
