Shefali Shah talks about Delhi Crime S3 and Diwali celebration with near and dear ones

Talking about Delhi Crime season 3, Shefali told Hindustan Times, “It feels like this Diwali’s patakha. I’ve been asked continuously when the next season is dropping, and it took a lot from me to keep my mouth shut and be secretive. But it’s out now, and I believe it’s going to be an extended Diwali celebration that will keep going on and on.”Shefali also reflected on her personal excitement for the festival and said, “During Diwali, I get this child-like excitement. And forget festivals, at any point, I am more childlike than my kids. They are still very mature, big boys. It’s about the Puja, everyone coming together, decorating the house, which I love doing, and finally on the Diwali night all our closest core circle being together—the food, the dressing up, the festival is about all of that put together.”

The actress reminisced about her childhood memories as well: “As a child, it was a very big deal for us. We would get new curtains during Diwali and would wake up early at 5 am to the smell of patakhas in the air. The night before Diwali, my mother used to make a rangoli of Lakshmi ji, and I would get very possessive about it. I would get upset if somebody would spoil it. I would sit up all night while she was making the rangoli and help her. The whole feeling of Diwali is kind of embedded in me, as the aura during that time is different.”

Shefali shared a heartfelt lesson about self-love and indulgence: “It’s also a slight level of acceptance and kindness towards yourself because finally at the end of the day, you are the only one standing by yourself. As generously as we accept others in love, very rarely do we extend the same kind of love and generosity towards ourselves, which I have tried to do in my own way. I have indulged myself this time, and I have come out pretty strong.”Known for her thoughtfulness in gifting, she added, “I give a lot of gifts and I personally go and select them. I don’t just give an order to somebody and ask them to make it because I feel that if you’re giving something as a gift, it has to be personal. I went in all the garmi, dhool and mitti, made my selections, got them home, packed it and sent it with a note. I love giving gifts, but I don’t really receive gifts. Maybe I should tell people around that it’s time that they start giving me gifts.” Delhi Crime season 3 will start streaming on OTT from November 13.
