Diwali is my favourite festival and I always look forward to celebrating it with my close ones. Every year, I visit my hometown Bhopal on this occasion and celebrate it with my friends and family. We always do a small puja at home and dress up in our best traditional attire and indulge in some amazing delicacies. I feel that the Supreme Court has taken the right decision of allowing people to burst crackers for only 2 hours to keep up the spirit of festivities. Everyone must enjoy this beautiful festival and I would like to wish all a 'Very Happy and Prosperous Diwali'.

I strongly believe that we must celebrate all festivals with our loved ones. This year however, owing to my busy schedule, I will not be able to visit my family in Delhi, so I am going to celebrate it on the sets of Kundali Bhagya with my extended family. I have many memories of Diwali as our entire family would get together, my grandfather would bless us with shagun and my grandmother would make us delicious halwa. For me, Diwali is all about togetherness, positivity and happiness. I frequently visit schools in villages and meet kids suffering from cancer at Tata Memorial Hospital to celebrate the festival with them. This year, I am going to visit an orphanage and spend time with kids there. Lastly, I would like to wish all my fans and their loved ones a very 'Happy and Prosperous Diwali' and urge everyone to not burn crackers and pollute the environment. Stay Blessed!

While the normal preparations of cleaning the house, festive shopping, lighting diyas and bursting crackers are going to be on my list, I believe that Diwali is the perfect occasion for a family reunion to have special moments with loved ones. I make sure I am around my family for this day and not working. As a kid, I used to enjoy bursting crackers but as I grew up I understood that it’s a very unhealthy way of celebrating the festival and doing more damage than any good. I have a pet dog and he gets really scared by the sound of the crackers, so I understand what effect it must be having on animals and it's high time we stop making this horrendous noise with crackers. Here’s wishing everyone a very 'Happy Diwali'.

Diwali is a beautiful festival and I am looking forward to celebrating it with family and friends. We always have a puja at home followed by a party with lots of scrumptious food. Diwali is special as it calls for big family get-together. I completely support the Supreme Court’s decision of keeping a limited time for bursting crackers. It is indeed a great decision as it will limit the noise pollution and air pollution to a large extent. Lastly, I would like to wish all a very 'Happy Diwali'.

Diwali is the festival of lights and colours and brings in lots of positivity and happiness with it. I love making rangolis and gorging on tasty sweets. Moreover, I look forward to meeting my friends and relatives and enjoying my day with family. I do not support bursting of crackers and I think one should light candles and diyas and spend quality time with loved ones. Last but maybe not the least, we must avoid activities that causes harm to our environment.

I stay away from my family and am going to miss all the festivities being held back home. To experience some flavour of Kolkata Diwali, I am going to try my hand at preparing Sondesh and I am excited about it. I have already started sending chocolates and sweets to my friends and planning a small get-together with my friends in Mumbai. My home made Sondesh and other dishes are definitely going to be a treat to everyone. I don’t indulge in crackers and I urge everyone to please avoid burning crackers which emit sound. I have a pet at home and I know how painful it is for the animals, so please enjoy this celebration without spreading fear. Wishing everyone a very 'Happy Diwali'.

I prefer spending time with my family on Diwali and I plan to do that this year as well. Every year, we perform Laxmi Puja in the evening followed by a sweet-tasting session. I don’t encourage bursting crackers as it leads to noise pollution and air pollution and dampens the spirit of festivities. Diwali is a very special festival and I wish that everyone makes it even more special by celebrating it with his/her loved ones. Happy Diwali.

The first thought that comes to mind about Diwali is lights and decorations. Every year, I am usually busy with my friends celebrating the festival but this year, I look forward to spending quality time with my family. I fondly remember, during my childhood I always waited for Diwali to be around friends, burst firecrackers and eat some mouth-watering food. Putting aside the real religious significance of the festival, I think Diwali brings togetherness; it’s about bonding with friends and celebrating the simple joys of life and primarily taking darkness away from each other's life. I'm glad that the government has taken some action to cut down pollution and it's a brilliant step. Lastly, this year I am going to make diyas out of clay, so I can contribute in some way to the beauty of the festival and spread happiness. Wishing everyone a 'Happy and Prosperous Diwali'.

I am very fond of decorations, especially lights. I decorate my house with diyas, colourful lights, rangolis and flowers during Diwali. I love the whole atmosphere and vibe that Diwali brings with it. Diwali indicates how the good always wins over the evil and it is a very special festival for me. I am a family person and enjoy spending time with my family and friends on Diwali. I believe in a noise-free Diwali as bursting crackers is harmful for our environment. Have a 'Joyous and Safe Diwali'.

Diwali is one of my favorite festivals and I always look forward to celebrating it. This will be my first Diwali in Mumbai and I have already started decorating and beautifying my house with lights, candles and oil lamps. During Diwali, my house becomes a beacon of light and happiness. As I am away from my home-town, I am going to miss all the celebrations being held back home. Diwali signifies victory of the good over the evil and it brings in a lot of happiness. Lastly, I would like to wish all a very 'Happy Diwali' and urge everyone to welcome positivity and refrain from holding onto any grudges or negative feelings. We must celebrate this festival with love, joy and extend help to those in need.

I also enjoy shopping a lot, gorging on some yummy food and having a wonderful time with people who matter to me. I prefer keeping it a smoke-free Diwali and celebrating it with lots of love and enthusiasm.
