Hunar Hali on childhood Diwali memories

Recalling her fond memories of Diwali from childhood, Hunar said, "Every Diwali takes me back to that time when Papa would light the first diya and say, ‘Light should never fear darkness.’ It’s been years since he’s gone, but that light still guides me — through every silence, every ending, and every new beginning. Some memories never leave, they just change their form."The actress further reminisced, "Papa used to say Diwali is about starting over — cleaning not just your home, but your heart. I think I finally understand what he meant. Life has a way of breaking and remaking you, and that’s what Diwali feels like now… a quiet restart."ALSO READ - Hunar Hali Reveals Why It's Not Right Time To Join Bigg Boss 19: Meri Zindagi Mein... | EXCLUSIVE

"I’ll be celebrating on set with my cast and crew who’ve become like family.
