Prosenjit, Subhashree: Check Out 8 Favourite Stars Who Celebrated Rath Yatra At Home
We got you some of the biggest Tollywood celebrities who enjoyed this glorious occasion right from their homes this year. Details inside!
Rath Yatra is the annual chariot festival that is celebrated across West Bengal, Orissa, and other states in eastern India. A public procession is taken out with the Hindu deities Jagannath, Balaram, and Subhadra, and thousands of people flock to be a part of it and take turns to tug at the the ropes of the chariot to move it forward. It is a joyous occasion which is celebrated with much gusto and fanfare. However, as this year has brought a pandemic with it, Rath Yatra has been a muted affair with most of us staying at home and rejoicing with our families. Here are our favourite Tollywood stars including actors Prosenjit and Subhashree Ganguly, who have made it a point to do just that!
Meanwhile, watch the promo for Prosenjit’s new film Nirontor, which will release on 28 June:
