It was all about dancing with passion and feeling like a little star." Sharing her preferred Navratri outfit, she mentions, "I adore flared chaniya cholis, but I opt for lightweight ones for comfort and elegance during spins.

Looking forward to celebrating Navratri with her husband Saurabh, she expresses, "Saurabh enjoys garba, and I look forward to learning his unique style. Although we haven't celebrated Navratri together yet, we did have fun playing garba during our wedding events. I am eager for the day we can celebrate Navratri together." Vrushika reveals, "My favorite garba moves are spins and the playful popatiyu; I also enjoy incorporating dodhiyu and trikoniya moves for variety." As for her favorite garba song, she exclaims, "Dakla is one of my all-time favorites due to its infectious energy.

Reflecting on her fondest on-set Navratri memory, Vrushika reminisces, "During the filming of Dil Dosti Dance, we shot Dholi Taro Dhol Baaje, which was a blast and took half a day. Our D3 get-togethers always involve garba."
