Back in Kolkata, we would have elaborate decorations and celebrations on this day."

Shantanu also shared a particularly memorable story from his childhood. He recalled, "My One memorable story is from a time when my mom woke me up in a hurry, saying I was late to get ready as Krishna. I grumbled, saying no one had informed me, but got dressed quickly. While everyone else was busy with the decorations, I was left waiting in my Krishna outfit, hoping for some event to justify it all. By 5 PM, I was still waiting and wondering why they even dressed me up in the first place. It turned out my grandmother had casually suggested to my mom that it would be nice if I dressed as Krishna that year. To give me a sense of purpose for all the effort, they took this photo. (Hence the beautiful expression)."

The actor's fans were quick to respond with love and affection for his endearing photos and stories. The comments section was flooded with messages appreciating Shantanu's trip down memory lane.
