On the occasion of The World Laughter Laughter Day, Dilwali Dulha Le Jayegi actress
Sanchita Ugale
, who plays the lead role of Sukoon in the popular drama, says her onscreen personality brings laughter and inspires people to stay happy in every situation.
She said, "My role of Sukoon is very beautiful, she makes sure to stay happy and bring laughter in the environment. If we compare Sanchita with Sukoon..then to be honest Sanchita takes stress a lot, of things in her life. I keep myself happy but not as like Sukoon does. So I feel inspired by my Sukoon in terms of handling situation and keeping herself calm and happy."
Sanchita believes happiness, laughter are the meaning and purpose of life.
She feels, "The feeling of happiness is a wonderful experience, emotionally and mentally, and it makes sense that we'd want to create more of that in our lives. I feel bringing more happiness into your life has far more benefits than merely feeling good. Say, feeling happier and more positive leads to greater participation in activities, it helps us to be fit, lively and confident.
Happiness, laughter are the meaning and purpose of life."

World Laughter Day

She adds, "They say laughter is the best medicine — and that's what this day is about! This joyful day reminds us of the
healing power of laughter
.
In a world filled with stress, competition, and digital burnout, World Laughter Day promotes peace, happiness, and togetherness through one of the most universal expressions — a hearty laugh."
She concluded sharing, "Laughter knows no boundaries – it unites us, uplifts us, and reminds us of our shared humanity. The day aims to promote peace and understanding among people worldwide. Also, World Laughter Day serves as a reminder of the universal language of laughter, transcending barriers and uniting people in shared moments of happiness."
