Sharing her love and sentiments for Bihu, she shared another clip and wrote,

“My love for #axomiya culture started quite early. I was introduced to #bihudance at a really young age.(maybe 4) I remember loving that smell of #kopouful (an orchid we wear around our hair bun) in that April breeze, which was quite common considering almost every household had that orchid and it bloomed to its glory in April. Amazed by the colors of #mekhelasador woven with #mugasilk, #whitepat, and #erisilk !! Since I loved #bihudance started loving the sound of all the instruments related to it like #dhul #pepa #gagana #hutuli The festival of Bihu, especially #rongalibihu has always been so so close to my heart. The way people open their homes to groups of people to watch them perform their folk dance and hear them sing, the way we get into the spirit of sharing our homemade snacks with each other and the pride and respect we feel for the culture that flows in us! I love the simplicity in these small things.”?

She also chose to acknowledge the ongoing protests in Assam against CAA and NRC. She added,

“I know #assam right now is not at it’s best to celebrate #bhugalibihu and it’s heartbreaking considering how joyful an occasion it is for each one of us! But I pray we find our way to normalcy. Normalcy – which is being exceptionally loving, which is loving our culture, our traditions. No matter where we are, a part of #axom is always with us! Love and positivity always! I wish you all a proud #bhugalibihu in advance! And yes, I love running in my #muga #rihamekhela.”

Just to jog your memory a little, Ankita Konwar and Milind Soman tied the knot in a private ceremony in 2018.?
