Key Takeaways
Star comedian Bharti Singh and her writer-producer husband Harssh Limbachiyaa shared heartfelt reflections on the significance of Dussehra 2026, speaking about the role of family, tradition, and togetherness in making festivals meaningful. The couple, celebrating Vijayadashami with their children in Mumbai, emphasised how parenthood has deepened their connection to India's festive traditions.
Bharti on Passing Traditions to Her Children
Bharti, currently hosting the Indian Game Show, spoke candidly about the fleeting nature of time during the festive season. “Time truly flies, especially during the festive season. Festivals keep arriving one after another, but what remains constant is the spirit of love, family, and togetherness that binds us all. Watching your children grow makes you realise just how quickly time passes,” she said.
Reflecting on her children — Gola and younger child Kaju — she noted that each passing festive season carries a distinct emotional weight. “Every festive season feels a little different as they get older, and with Gola and little Kaju, these celebrations have become even more meaningful and special to me. I want my children to grow up experiencing our traditions firsthand, understanding the stories behind them, and cherishing those family rituals that eventually become their most beautiful childhood memories,” she added.
Dussehra as a Symbol of Hope and Positivity
Bharti drew a parallel between the festival’s central message and her own professional mission of spreading laughter. “Dussehra has always been a festival that fills our hearts with hope, reminding us that no matter how big the obstacles may be, light, goodness, and joy always triumph in the end. For me, bringing a smile to someone’s face is one of the purest forms of celebration,” she said.
She also expressed gratitude for the enthusiastic audience response to the Indian Game Show, describing it as an extension of the festive spirit. “Knowing that families across the country gather around their screens every evening to laugh, unwind, and forget their everyday worries is the biggest blessing,” she said, adding that the show’s emphasis on spontaneous laughter mirrors the togetherness that festivals promote.
Harssh Limbachiyaa on Entertainment and Festive Bonds
Harssh Limbachiyaa echoed his wife’s sentiments, underscoring that the true spirit of Dussehra extends beyond religious observance into everyday human connection. “For me, the true spirit of Dussehra lies in the idea that no matter how challenging life gets, positivity, goodness, and hope will always find a way to triumph,” he said.
Harssh, speaking as a writer and creator, said he has long believed in entertainment’s power to unite people. “With the Indian Game Show, that belief has become even more meaningful,” he noted, citing the growing number of families tuning in daily and fans appearing in the studio. “When we set out to create the show, we wanted it to be more than just entertainment; we wanted it to be an experience where people could forget their everyday stresses, laugh together, and create moments of happiness with their families,” he added.
The Indian Game Show’s Growing Connect With Audiences
Both Bharti and Harssh highlighted the outpouring of affection from audiences as validation of the show’s core philosophy. The couple described the sight of fans making their way to the studio as “genuinely overwhelming,” and framed the show’s daily reach into living rooms as a small but meaningful victory in itself. “In many ways, knowing that we’re bringing a little joy into people’s homes is a victory in itself,” Harssh said, wishing audiences a “happy and prosperous Vijayadashami.”
As the festive season progresses, Bharti’s message for this Vijayadashami 2026 was clear: “May this Vijayadashami dispel stress, negativity, and worries, and fill every home with laughter, good health, and countless sweet moments.”
