com about his experience of playing the deity and how it has changed him. ADVERTISEMENT Sumedh started the conversation by sharing how playing Krishna made him much calmer and softer and stated, "I feel I have become much kinder now. I listen better nowadays, I understand better—whether it be thoughts, whether it be people or their pain.
I think I’ve gotten better at understanding all these things. I have become much calmer, which has helped me face life for what it is and not get stressed over things. I do stress, I stress a lot, but somehow, the calmness still helps me gather the courage to face life for what it is, move forward, and do what is right for myself.
" Further, when asked how he celebrates Janmashtami, Sumedh shared, "Every Janmashtami, I don’t really have any specific plans on how I would celebrate it. Usually, we try to visit a Krishna temple to seek his blessings. And sometimes, if we can't go somewhere like that, I just pray to him and thank him for everything he has done for me and for all the opportunities he has given me.
"I try to go out and watch Dahi Handi as much as possible because it's a very beautiful festival. That’s how I celebrate Janmashtami," he concluded. Mudgalkar shared that it takes him.
