Actor Regina Cassandra, who grew up in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, holds Pongal close to her heart. Rooted in the traditions of South India, the multi-day harvest festival celebrates abundance, gratitude and togetherness. Reflecting on her upbringing, the 34-year-old actor says, "I was born in a Christian household, but the cultural influence around meâbe it from friends, neighbours, or the communityâmade Pongal an integral part of my life."
Known for her performances in films like Maanagaram (2017), Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa Laga (2019) and Thalaivii (2021), Cassandra fondly recalls her early memories of Pongal. "As a child, I'd borrow traditional skirts from my friends to participate in the Pongal pooja. I'd help with cooking and, of course, eating the delicious pongal!" she shares, adding, "There are two types of pongal dishesâsakkarai (sweet) pongal and ven (savoury) pongal. My favourite is sakkarai pongal."
