When asked Khushi shares her excited, "For me Janmashtami is exciting because of dahi handi, Jhankis, Raslila, etc. I love the ritual of Dahi Handi. I am looking forward to watch the pyramid of people breaking a handi as It is so much fun. I am going to throw waters on the boys who will come to break the handi. I wish Arnavji would accompany me to the celebrations."

She added, "During Krishna Janmashtami we light lots of diyas and illuminate our house. We sing the aarti and ring the bells. Every year I read out the 108 names of Kishanji. We make a grand meal that consists of 56 dishes. We call it Chappan Bhog. Some of us will fast during the pooja and will break the fast after the pooja by having ‘panchamrit’."
