Vrushika Mehta shifted to Canada after getting married but recently traveled to Mumbai specifically for Navratri. The actress, known for her role in Dil Dosti Dance (D3), expressed her deep-rooted love for Navratri and garba, saying it's an essential part of her Gujarati heritage. She finds the music invigorating and enjoys breaking into garba spontaneously. While she has always resided in Mumbai, she acknowledges that experiencing Navratri in Gujarat is a must and hopes to do so in the future.

Reflecting on her childhood memories of Navratri, Vrushika recalls how her mother used to dress her up and bribe her with chocolates to keep her still while applying the traditional three dots on her chin. She was very competitive as a child, always aiming to win garba competitions every night and feeling like a star as she danced her heart out.

When it comes to her preferred Navratri attire, Vrushika favors lightweight flared chaniya cholis that allow for graceful spins. Depending on the occasion, she selects either heavy statement jewelry for a reel shoot or delicate pieces that complement her outfit for dancing sessions.She reminisces about her childhood desire to win every garba competition, recalling how her mother would dress her up and bribe her with chocolates to sit still while painting three dots on her chin. She was fiercely competitive, aiming to win a prize every night by dancing with all her heart and feeling like a little star. When discussing her go-to Navratri look, she expresses her love for flared chaniya cholis, preferring lightweight ones for comfort and graceful spins. For jewelry, she opts for heavier pieces when shooting a reel to make a statement, but chooses delicate pieces that complement her outfit for dancing. She eagerly anticipates the day when she and her husband, Saurabh, can celebrate Navratri together. Saurabh's garba style is different from hers, and she looks forward to learning from him. Although they had the opportunity to play garba during their wedding events, they have yet to celebrate Navratri together. She mentions that spins and the playful popatiyu are her favorite garba moves, and she enjoys incorporating dodhiyu and trikoniya steps to add variety. Her all-time favorite garba song is "Dakla" for its infectious energy, and she admires Falguni Pathak's iconic songs that create the perfect Navratri ambiance. She fondly recalls shooting "Dholi Taro Dhol Baaje" on the set of Dil Dosti Dance, which was a fun experience that involved a half-day shoot and added to the lively garba atmosphere during their get-together parties on set.
