Deepika Singh on Diwali memories, plans

During a candid chat with us, Deepika recalled, "Last year I celebrated Diwali with Naman, Urvashi, and Jiya. Because last time, we didn't know which day Diwali was. So, the day we celebrated Diwali in the North, I had a shoot that day. And the day before that, we had a holiday. But I think we got a holiday on Chhoti Diwali, which is according to the North. So, last time, I had a shoot on Diwali. And after that, I went home to celebrate Diwali. I had a shoot till 5 or 6pm. So, we burst crackers and lit phuljadi. We did a puja in the makeup room, and we did Ganpati and Lakshmi ji's aarti. So, it was fun."

The actress further revealed how she plans to celebrate Diwali this year. The Mangal Lakshmi actress revealed that she will celebrate the festival by giving gifts to her friends, making rangoli, spending time with kids and doing puja.

Jatin Negi on Diwali 2025 plans, memories

Apart from Deepika, actor Jatin Negi, known for films like Ajey - The Untold Story of a Yogi and Bell Bottom, shared his Diwali 2025 plans with Zoom. In an exclusive chat, the actor shared, "This year, Diwali is going to feel a little different, as we’ll be celebrating right here in Mumbai instead of heading back to my parents in Dehradun. While there’s always a pang of longing for the familiar traditions of my childhood home, the truth is, I couldn’t be happier about my company."

For Jatin, this Diwali is special because he gets to celebrate it with his wife and little daughter, who is almost two years old. "This will be her second Festival of Lights, and I know the sheer joy of the diyas and shimmering lights will be absolutely magical for her. I’m looking forward to watching her tiny face light up with wonder, which is the best gift a parent could ask for. Our plan is simple but centered on warmth and togetherness. We are going to have a gala time cooking a special feast together—all the classics that make Diwali taste like home. Later in the evening, we'll call over a few close friends who also couldn’t make it back to their hometowns," he added.On a concluding note, Jatin mentioned that their Diwali celebrations include music, diyas, good food and laughter. This year, the festival of lights will be more about intimacy and love of creating new traditions with the people who matter most, revealed Jatin. "It’s going to be a beautifully bright and memorable Diwali," he said, while signing off.
