The Kanya Puja, a significant part of the celebrations during the festival of Chaitra Navratri, involves worshipping young girls who are seen as manifestations of the divine feminine. It is a poignant moment for Shilpa, reflecting her deep cultural roots and the joy of motherhood as young Samisha playfully blessed her, captured in the shared video.

Shilpa Shetty has been a prominent figure in Bollywood for over three decades. She made her film debut in the early '90s, starring opposite Shah Rukh Khan in the hit thriller 'Baazigar'. Since then, she has carved out a successful career in the industry not only as an actress but also as a producer. Known for her roles in various films, Shilpa has been a household name and continues to influence many with her performances and public appearances.

Shilpa married businessman Raj Kundra in 2009, and the couple welcomed their first child, a son named Viaan, in 2012. In 2020, they expanded their family by welcoming their daughter Samisha via surrogacy. The family often shares glimpses of their life on social media, giving fans a peek into their world beyond the glitz and glamour of Bollywood.

The Ashtami celebrations are just one of the many ways Shilpa connects with her heritage and shares this with her children, ensuring they grow up with a strong sense of cultural identity.
