October has been a month full of blessings for actor Arpit Ranka as he and his wife, Nidhi, welcomed their second child, a baby girl, on October 7. While his wife is still in postpartum recovery, little did the actor know that she would continue the tradition of fasting on Karwa Chauth this year as well. Karwachauth is an Indian festival where married women fast for the longevity and safety of their husbands. Nidhi has been keeping the fast for Arpit for 9 years now and she did not want to break the tradition this year.
The “Mahabharat” actor said, “I have no words to explain my feelings. I did not want Nidhi to fast this year as she gave birth to our baby girl just 17 days back and her body is still recovering. She needs a lot of care and attention and I did not want her to put her body through any more pressure. But she still kept the fast, and it’s a feeling which is very hard to explain. I have so much love and respect for her.”
Arpit further said, “This is her 10th year of Karwachauth. We have been married for nine years, but she fasted for me a year before we got married too. I know husbands also do a lot of things for their wives and their families, but what our wives do for our families needs to be appreciated every day.”
