Baisakhi marks the foundation day of the 'Khalsa Panth' (Sikh order) by the 10th Sikh Guru, Gobind Singh. It also marks the start of the harvest season. Like every year, the festival is celebrated with gusto among devotees across Punjab and Haryana and across the world by visiting Gurudwaras. Bollywood and television celebrities are no exceptions. One such celeb is Amandeep Sidhu.

Amandeep Sidhu, who plays the role of Mahi, in Teri Meri Ikk Jindri in a chat with mid-day.com talked about her favourite Baisakhi memory and how it is celebrated at her home. Amandeep revealed, “Baisakhi, also known as Vaisakhi marks the Sikh New Year and is a spring harvest festival celebrated in Punjab and other parts of North India. I remember, it was the most widely celebrated festival in my house and every year on this day, my mom would make ‘Kheer Pude’ and ‘Meethe Chawal’ which are the popular dishes prepared on this occasion and also one of my favourites. Not many know, but sweets are usually not prepared in my house because my mom is diabetic, but on this one day, we let go of everything and enjoy it to the fullest."
The actress further added, "In fact, we used to plan the celebration nearly a month in advance as to what we will wear for Baisakhi and ensure we had brand-new clothes in place for the festival. We also had a yearly tradition of visiting the Banglasaheb Gurudwara where we would have the langar prepared and we would dedicate the day in performing sewa and being in the gurudwara itself. While I would love to relive all these days, this year I am definitely going to be missing my mom’s kheer and of course, visiting the Gurudwara, but I hope to do this in the coming year. Wishing everyone a very Happy Baisakhi”
