Quotes from Sony SAB artists on Diwali Festival   

Mithil Jain aka Rohit from Shubh Laabh - Aapkey Ghar Mein: 
To me, Diwali is about togetherness and having a great opportunity to spend quality time with your family. As we shoot for long hours, we don’t usually get ample time to spend it with our family. So, during this festive season, we get these four to five days, and we all stay under one roof and enjoy to our heart’s full content. My fondest memory during Diwali was my vacation to Singapore with my family. I have tons of fantastic childhood memories about Diwali, and one thing that I still enjoy the most about this festival is the food. Ghoogra is my favourite Diwali delicacy, and I enjoy eating Shrikhand, Jalebi, Fafda as I avoid eating them during the whole year. This year, I will visit Rajasthan and spend my Diwali by relishing great food and making memories for life. I would like all my fans to please not burst crackers and go for a green Diwali. Instead, light a Diya and spread warmth and happiness to people around. 
 
Aashay Mishra aka Vaibhav from Shubh Laabh- Aapkey Ghar Mein:
Diwali in my hometown is all about family coming together and celebrating the festival at its best. Every year, we organise a small function with my family wherein everybody performs something they want, we click a lot of photos to capture all the memories and enjoy the get-together. We plan activities from games to dance performances to karaoke to board games on Diwali night, and we enjoy the whole night. My fondest memory is of a prank that I played on my neighbour where I had put on an act of a drunkard, and they got terrified. All of us in the family ended up laughing at this incident. After a gap of 1.5 years, I'll be back home this Diwali, and I’m already excited to meet my family and friends there and catch up on all the updates from them. Also, I have a sweet tooth so, I love eating all mithais and spectacular laddoos that my mother prepares.  The only request for my fans and viewers is to keep the well-being of our planet and animals first, and I pray Maa Laxmi graces all your homes with prosperity and blessings.
 
Sumeet Raghavan aka Rajesh Wagle from Wagle Ki Duniya:
Every Diwali to me is a fond memory, and I have loved celebrating it with my friends and family since childhood. I reside in Vile Parle, and we have Diwali Paath in the society. Classical musical programmes are organised on the very first morning of Diwali, and everyone wears traditional clothes, and the vibe is so positive all around. This year, we will keep our celebrations very low-key since I lost my father-in-law recently. We will be visiting each other’s houses in society and will play Taash like we do every year. But my plan this year is to join our producer, JD Majethia, for a fun Diwali Taash party. I just urge all my fans and viewers to stay safe this Diwali and enjoy it to their fullest.
 
Bhavika Sharma aka Santosh Sharma from Maddam Sir:
My fondest memory of Diwali is celebrating the festival, attending Laxmi Pooja with my extended family, and enjoying the day to the fullest. I believe togetherness is the best thing about Diwali. I have never got an opportunity to do a Taash party, but I have once visited our producer’s house, and it was my first time experiencing a Taash party, and I learnt how to play the game. This year, I wish all my fans and viewers a pleased and prosperous Diwali and urge them to refrain from bursting crackers. I believe eco-friendly is the best way to celebrate Diwali.
 
Sayantani Ghosh aka Daljeet Bagga from Tera Yaar Hoon Main:
Being a Bengali, Diwali is about Kali Pujo. We offer Pushpanjali to Goddess Kali on the night of Amavasya, and it’s a surreal experience. To me, Maa Kali means an embodiment of strength. While growing up, this festival of light has meant lighting Diyas, playing cards, and getting together with my friends and family. I have fond memories, but the memory that is very close to my heart dates back to my childhood when I was in Kolkata, and I used to visit the trade fairs with my father and handpick whatever I wanted, be it candles, diya or decoration items for the house. I have always celebrated Diwali with my family at home. This year, I will be visiting Jaipur to celebrate it with Anugrah and his family, and I am looking forward to enjoy every moment of it.  I believe this festival is all about celebrating the light within us and cleansing our souls and thoughts. I wish the same for my fans and urge them to be responsible and celebrate eco-friendly Diwali, take care of the ecosystem, and celebrate it happily with their loved ones.
 
Aditya Deshmukh aka Special Agent Faizi from Ziddi Dil- Maane Na:
I believe Diwali is a festival of positivity, lights, happiness and prosperity and I love celebrating it with my folks. I would like to wish all my fans a very happy and prosperous Diwali. While growing up, I have always been so exuberant during Diwali since that was the time when we used to get long 21 days of holidays from our school, and we used to spend our time with friends and family. I love the beautiful lighting that makes our housing society look so aesthetic and fancy diyas that people light on their terrace. It gives us a sign of prosperity and happiness. I get so excited whenever I talk about Diwali or the yummy food items that are prepared- I love Chakli, Besan Ke Laddoo, Chirota (made of white flour with icing sugar) and Shakarpale. I have spent almost all the Diwali nights playing Cards, Flash, Karaoke and dancing with my friends. This year, I plan to celebrate it with my family and enjoy the day to my heart’s content. I urge my fans to take a step forward and go towards celebrating this festival in an eco-friendly way!
