Let your dreams soar with the kites today

Flying kites is not a sport many would associate with women, but actor Amrita Rao surprises us when she reveals that she is quite an expert at it. “In fact, I'm looking forward to starting my day today doing just that,” enthuses Amrita. Revealing that she will also be celebrating Makar Sankranti today binging on her fave winter snacks tilgul laddoos and gacchak, Amrita adds that for her flying the kite means much more than just a sport.

“I think the entire sport mirrors our inspirations and aspirations. I relate to the sport very personally too. Just like our ambitions and dreams, the kite soars high and even after it's cut, it glides down very gracefully and just doesn't fall. I think there's a lesson for all of us to learn in that,” says Amrita adding that she herself enjoys the experience of flying the kites rather than worrying about what will the outcome be. “I think we all should enjoy the experience and not just miss out all the joy in the race to win,” she adds. The actor who will be home celebrating the day with her friends and family including cousins, says that any day that spreads joy and cheer is special.
 
However, despite her love for the sport, Amrita has a word of caution to add. “I’m an animal lover too, and so I think it’s important to not injure a bird or harm them to pursue this sport. So yes go fly and let your dreams soar with it, but not at the cost of some innocent creature,” she smiles.
