Also festivals are an important part of Indian traditions and sharing recipes related to festivals, moreso, the ones that have been passed down to me from my mother is a nostalgic experience.”

Making a comeback to television an excited Juhi Chawla said, “India is an ancient civilization, with a rich history and deep culture of spiritualism. Our saints, seers and sages established places of worship, which are energy centers, geographical historical and architectural wonders. Over centuries, millions of people have come here for worship with deep faith and experienced miracles. I was in London when I was approached with the concept of Sharanam, I was intrigued, charmed and immediately agreed to present the show. Sharanam is truly different in every sense of the word as it highlights the faith and spiritual connection of India’s eminent places of worship, something that hasn’t been showcased on television before. I am happy to join the EPIC family and celebrate 3 years of EPIC.”
