Speaking to ANI about her memories of Indian festivals, Passi said Diwali celebrations with her grandparents remained particularly special.
“I think for me Diwali with my grandparents was the most beautiful thing and of course Holi and Janmashtami I used to go to the Mandir with my grandparents and I think in India we have all these beautiful festivals and you know since childhood we are brought up in an environment where you know there’s a lot of culture, there are prayers, there are celebrations but it’s also it’s very meaningful. So I think I really cherish that,” she said.
Passi also spoke about the collaboration between Myntra and Meta, calling it something she felt was “much needed”.

“I think Punjabi family, as you said good food, poora decor hote hue lights lag rahi hain. That whole festive feeling and everyone coming together. Matlab beech mein thodi bahut aise bhi khitpit bhi hoti hai. Ye kyon aisa hai kaisa hai? The usual Punjabi family. But I feel like we all come together, and last mein jab hum saath mein baithe hote hain, that feeling is unmatchable,” she said.
