For 33-year-old actress Nyrraa M Banerji, Durga Puja is more than just a festival; it is an emotion deeply rooted in family, faith, cultural values, and cherished childhood memories. Born and brought up in Mumbai, Nyrraa has always celebrated Durga Puja with her family in the city, embracing the traditions, customs, and devotion associated with the auspicious occasion.
While her family's roots connect them to Calcutta, Mumbai has always been the heart of their Durga Puja celebrations, giving them the opportunity to stay connected to their heritage while celebrating the festival in their own city.
Although Nyrraa was very young when she visited Calcutta, she still has fond memories of the experience. During one of their visits to meet relatives, her family members took them around the city, where they enjoyed some of the best food and had the opportunity to see their grandmother. While her memories of the trip are limited because of her young age, the visit remains a special connection to her family's roots and the city that holds an important place in their history.
Speaking about her childhood memories of Calcutta, Nyrraa shares, “I was very, very small when we visited Calcutta, so I don't remember everything in detail. I remember that when we went there to meet our relatives, they took us out, we ate some of the best food, and I got to see my grandmother.
