Actors to turn Secret Santa for their loved ones!

As Christmas approaches, a delightful festive atmosphere envelops everyone, and the anticipation for Secret Santa is soaring, enhancing the joyous spirit of the season. Likewise, &TV artists also share their unique plans to become Secret Santa for their loved ones. These include Vyom Thakkar (Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Atal), Geetanjali Mishra (Rajesh, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan), and Vidisha Srivastava (Anita Bhabi, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai). Vyom Thakkar, essaying Atal Bihari Vajpayee in &TV’s show Atal, shares, “I love Santa Claus. He makes people happy by giving surprise gifts. I want to be like him, wearing his outfit and making wishes come true for people. As Atal ji’s birthday coincides with Christmas, I am going to celebrate it in a special way. I will dress up like Santa on the set and keep surprise gifts in everyone’s room. I’ve been asking them what they want from Santa this year (laughs). Some people found out about my plans, but I am trying to keep it a surprise. I hope this Secret Santa mission will bring a lot of joy and happiness on the set.”

Geetanjali Mishra, aka Rajesh from Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, shares, “For several years, I have been the secret Santa for my nephews. Even though they expect my Secret Santa surprises every year, they still get extremely happy upon receiving their special gifts. Witnessing the sheer joy in their eyes upon unwrapping their presents is truly magical. While I have never donned a Santa costume before, I am considering trying it out this year – I might look cute in it (laughs). My plan for this Christmas is to gift them a long-awaited PlayStation they both can enjoy together. I encourage everyone to take on the role of Santa for their loved ones this Christmas. Making our dear ones happy brings immense joy and fulfilment.” Vidisha Srivastava, aka Anita Bhabi from Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai, shares, “Christmas holds a special place in my heart, and I celebrate it with my friends, attend mass at church and relish delectable food, like wine cake, at restaurants. However, this year marks a change in my Christmas plans as I will be celebrating it with my newborn. I will dress her in Santa attire. Even though she is too young to distribute gifts, I will take on that role on her behalf, presenting gifts to our loved ones. I have completed the shopping and wrapping, and now eagerly await their reactions when they receive these surprise gifts.”
