Exclusive: Addinath Kothare talks about his memories of celebrating Christmas during his school days

Christmas is upon us and the world prepares for one of the most celebrated holidays. Addinath Kothare, who will be seen in the film ‘Panchak’ produced by Madhuri Dixit Nene, took the time to chat about his favourite Christmas traditions and his memories of the festival.

 

 

Addinath recalled about celebrating Christmas as a kid and shared about how he celebrated it saying,

“School days were fun during Christmas, we used to decorate Christmas trees at the school and enjoy having the delicacies in school. Getting gifts from Santa was the most exciting part. My dad used to bring a Christmas tree home as well whiche and my friends used to decorate , it was just very exciting and fun.”

Sharing about how being an actor it’s difficult sometimes to celebrate festivals with family and friends, Addinath says,

”I try taking out time during every festival and spend some quality time with family. If I am shooting outside Mumbai, I video call my family and talk to them. If I am shooting in Mumbai, I take out time to celebrate with them before or after my shoots. I make sure that I bring gifts for my daughter Jiza even if I can’t celebrate with them due to work commitments.”

In the festive spirit, Addinath shares the Christmas films he and his daughter love to watch,

“My favourite Christmas film is Home Alone, it holds special memories for me. I showed the same movie to my daughter Jiza and even she liked it. During Christmas, if I am at home we watch it together.”

As Christmas brings another occasion to enjoy delicacies, Addinath shares his favourite but ensures good health at the same time.

“I enjoy indulging in a healthy plum cake, opting for the sugar-free version to savour the festive treat while maintaining a focus on health.”

Addinath Kothare wishes all the readers a Merry Christmas!
