Actress Isha Koppikar is embracing the spirit of Gudi Padwa in a deeply personal and meaningful way this year, choosing to focus not just on rituals but on the values that define the festival. For her, the occasion is an opportunity to shape her daughter Rianna’s understanding of culture, identity, and resilience.
As the festival approaches, Isha has been actively involving Rianna in every aspect of the celebrations, from preparations at home to conversations about what the day truly signifies. Rather than treating it as a customary practice, she views it as a chance to instil life lessons that go far beyond a single day of celebration.
“For me, introducing Rianna to Gudi Padwa is about values and not just about rituals. I involve her in the celebrations. I explain it as a symbol of new beginnings, resilience, positivity. I teach her gratitude, pride in our culture and the courage to start fresh. And this gratitude and pride in our culture is not just for this festival but for every Indian festival that I can think of and I celebrate with her,” she shared.
Taking a thoughtful, conversation-led approach, Isha ensures that Rianna not only participates in traditions but also understands their deeper meaning. For her, these moments become gentle yet powerful teaching tools — shaping perspective, encouraging mindfulness, and nurturing a strong cultural foundation.
The impact of this mindful parenting approach, she said, is already visible. “I can already see a lot of change. She's very grounded, more aware and looks at life with quiet confidence and positivity,” Isha added.
For Isha, this sense of rootedness is not limited to Gudi Padwa alone. It is something she consistently reinforces through every Indian festival they celebrate together. By doing so, she is transforming culture from a once-in-a-while observance into an everyday value system — one that her daughter can carry forward with pride and confidence.
