Milind shared pictures of the couple and wished 'people across the country', "Happy Bihu people !! I think this is a whole week of New Year days for people across the country, so happy new year to all in these last 12 months of lockdown, then unlock, begin again and now #notalockdown, I have celebrated more festivals than I had in my entire life before this!"

Ankita also shared pictures of herself in a stunning saree and black blouse as husband Milind also dons traditional attire, listing out everything she missed this Bihu. "Wish you all a very happy Bohag Bihu. Missing the smell of orchids called #kopouful , missing all the delicious food, missing the sounds of dhol-pepa and missing the warmth of my crazy family but missing my father the most," she wrote.

In a separate video, she can be seen performing the Bihu dance, Assam's indigenous folk dance. "Oh how I LOVED dancing Bihu as a child! Never had to force a smile whenever I performed, be it the stage or in the house, the smile was always genuine. It still brings that smile back whenever I hear the sound of dhol-pepa," she captioned the clip.

Milind also commented that she had to teach him the step during the 'not a lockdown'.
