The Bengali community celebrates Pohela Boishak today. The day marks the beginning of the Baishak month in the Bengali Calendar. People get ready in all their finery and greet each other in joy for another good year. Anupamaa actress Rupali Ganguly is working, but she will pause to take some time with her family today to observe this important occasion from her culture. In between her shots, she told us “Yes, this year I am working. In the past, when I was home on Pohela Boishak, it would be a grand get-together for my whole family… It has a platter of all the mouth-watering delicacies like Lalbha (banana flower), Baigan (eggplant) Alu Posto (potatoes mashed with poppy seeds), singari kachchap (red rice flakes), sweet-milk flavoured Sandesh and much more…I will have lunch with them today.”
