Shefali Jariwala became an overnight sensation, courtesy the music video of &lsquo;Kaanta Laga&rsquo; in which she was the female lead. Buoyed by the success of this video, she went onto to do films and reality shows, including &lsquo;Bigg Boss&rsquo;.
Mid-Day Online met up with her on the occasion of &lsquo;Navratri 2022&rsquo;, wherein she revealed her 'secret' of being a born dandiya dancer.&nbsp;
Shefali, what unique things do you see about &lsquo;Navratri 2022&rsquo;? I can&rsquo;t really call it unique, but, I am happy that this year all of the Navratri enthusiasts (including me) will get to go and physically play garba after 2019. It&rsquo;s quite exciting to see the energy of people playing garba at the pandals. In addition to that, work wise also, I will be visiting a few places for Navratri. All in all, I am really looking forward to the coming days.
Are you more of a <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/maharashtra-govt-permits-use-of-loudspeakers-till-midnight-in-mumbai-on-oct-1-during-navratri-23247826" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">dandiya </a>person or garba? I enjoy both- garba as well as dandiya. But, both has its place and time. In addition to that, let me also tell that music really matters a lot. So, depending on where I am, I can pick up that vibe!
Have you ever got hurt while playing dandiya (with sticks)? Haven&rsquo;t we all at some point? (smiles)
Have you learnt dandiya / garba from someone? Or you learnt it seeing others? I am a Gujarati. That&rsquo;s why, I think it runs in my DNA. I feel I started doing garba even before I started walking (laughs). Never have I undergone any kind of professional training&nbsp;to learn garba or dandiya.

Which is your all-time favorite dandiya/ garba song in Bollywood? Without any doubt&hellip; it has to be the one and only &lsquo;Dhol baaje&rsquo; from the film &lsquo;<a href="https://www.mid-day.com/lifestyle/culture/article/mumbai-guide-mumbai-ramleela-ramleela-mandals-ramleela-guide-17663164" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Ram Leela&rsquo;</a>
Do you fast during the nine days? Yes. I observe fast on all the 9 days. I also do &lsquo;<a href="https://www.mid-day.com/amp/mumbai/mumbai-news/photo/in-photos-devotees-across-india-welcome-goddess-durga-94105" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Maa Durga Puja</a>&rsquo; at my residence.
Do you follow the colour code for all the nine days? Honestly speaking, I try to follow the colour code as much as possible.
What&rsquo;s your take on accessories? Are you a minimal person or you prefer a &lsquo;quintessential&rsquo; Navratri make up? I love eccentric oxidized silver jewellery which I experiment a lot during Navratri. My makeup is always minimal. There&rsquo;s a lot of kajal in my eyes.
