Amika Shail loves to fly kites

It was Makar Sankranti on Thursday and actress Amika Shail was seen in good spirits, as she enjoyed kite-flying in all its glory. Says Amika, “Makar Sankranti is called Poush Sankranti or Pithe Parbon in my hometown in Bengal. It is the beginning of an auspicious season. Food is a big part of Poush Sankranti and many rituals revolve around items made from rice, as it is the time when paddy is harvested. The festival is all about prayers, family, food and kite-flying.”
