The tradition of dressing up your little ones as Shri Krishna and his dear companion Radha to celebrate Janmashtami goes back a long way. We have actors sharing how it’s like at their household and the values of devotion, justice and love that they would like their children to imbibe from Radha and Krishna.

I tell my son Soham that Krishna ji ka janm raat 12 baje hua tha, how he is known as Makhanchor, and a lot of other stories. It’s a challenge to make him wear the dress but I try to keep him busy with drawing books while I dress him up. I always teach him about the life of Krishna ji, especially his bond with his childhood friend Sudama.
I tell him to never differentiate between any of his playmates or treat anyone differently. And he seems to have imbibed this within himself!
