When asked about what she is her big wish this year, she said, “This year, on Diwali, if I had to wish for something for everybody, it would be good health and peace of mind. And that’s my prayer for people most of the time, even when I wish them on their birthdays as I feel that’s the real core of everything we do. Everything else is secondary.”
Talking about memories from childhood of the festival, she said that it was all about spending quality time with family and friends. She said when one is in school they look for getting off and working parents would also not have to go to work. Although, things were extremely simple and nothing too extravagant, they will always be very special.
When asked what’s the best thing about Diwali for her, she said, “For me, it’s the diyas as I am all for the light. Also, in my family, everyone’s names — dad, Prakash, mum, Ujjala, sister Anisha — including mine, are actually different synonyms of the word, light. Hence, Diwali has always been an extra special festival for us, and lighting diyas is my thing (smiles). Keeping them ready, readying the wick, putting ghee and lighting them, during the pooja, is what I look forward to the most.”
