She further added: "But I believe that every day is Durga's and we celebrate each day with full fervour."
Speaking about recycling the goddess' statue every year, Tanisha said: "One thing - when we celebrate any festival, we need to keep the environment in mind because it is getting very ruined. And for this reason, our statues are recycled every year."
Speaking about the tradition and culture, the veteran actress Tanuja said: "The traditions of our country are very important and if we fail to keep them alive, then India won't be the same anymore."
She further stated: "I was taught by my mother-in-law that loving your dear ones is necessary and Durga Puja is one occasion that unites us all. There is no religion here and anyone is welcome here."
