Yash Soni, when asked about his plans for Navratri, jokes that he is always the last one to know about the garba venue. Despite being bad at managing his plans, he usually attends with friends from the industry. Yash shares that he also enjoys joining another group for Navratri celebrations, where they used to visit different venues just for fun. Although he wasn't a fan of garba in his childhood, his perspective changed after being a part of the song Bol Mari Ambe for the film Fakt Mahilao Maate. Yash found learning garba challenging but fell in love with it, now dancing all night whenever possible. Excited about dancing to new garba songs this year, Yash looks forward to songs like Umbra Vaali and Chaniyacholi. Despite his love for the festival, Yash does not compromise on his work commitments during Navratri, even if it means having night shoots.Scheduling a film shoot brings me great satisfaction. Even if I get only half an hour to play garba, it still feels fulfilling. When asked if he enjoys feasting on food after garba, he chuckles and shares, "Unfortunately, I have to stick to a diet during Navratri. In the past, before my acting career, Manek Chowk was our favorite spot post-garba where we would indulge in everything without worrying about calories. But now, I bring my own food and stick to my diet regimen." As for his Navratri fashion choice this year, he mentions, "I am trying dhoti pants for the first time and find them extremely comfortable. I prefer this look over tight churidars when dancing garba, so this season, any kurta paired with dhoti pants is my preferred style."
