00:00It was a Diwali when we were kids, we used to go to our grandparents' house in Pune.
00:11We were all cousins.
00:13Unfortunately, it's not happening these days.
00:15We are planning it.
00:17It was good because we all used to live together, play, have fun.
00:24There used to be a competition in the big garland.
00:29Who has the biggest garland? Who will win?
00:32Shopkeepers always won because they had money.
00:36And they used to make big garlands.
00:38So these are my childhood memories of Pune.
00:46What's special about Diwali is that we do Lakshmi Poojan.
00:51On that day, we keep all the doors open.
00:54We keep the gold and silver of the house in front of us.
00:59The whole family is together.
01:01There is Pooja and Havan in my house every year.
01:04So that is very positive for me.
01:09I find it very meaningful.
01:11When the priest comes and does Pooja for half an hour, the atmosphere changes.
01:16For me, that is the most special time of Diwali.
01:20Another special time of Diwali is at 7 or 7.30 pm.
01:25Everyone comes down to the building and plays crackers.
01:29I enjoy all that.
01:31But these days, it seems that firecrackers have also been put off.
01:35We don't have to make a lot of noise.
01:37We are planting flowers.
01:39We are not planting bombs.
01:41But yes, that is Diwali for me.
01:43On the day of Lakshmi Poojan, the priest comes and does Pooja and Havan.
01:56This is considered very auspicious.
01:59We should do this.
02:00On this day, we don't go out of the house.
02:02We say that Lakshmi is coming and going.
02:06These days, we are used to sitting with everything closed.
02:09But on that day, everything is open.
02:11It feels good.
02:13On the day of Lakshmi Poojan, we get up at 5.30 am and take a bath with Uptan.
02:22And then we say a prayer.
02:25At that time, we call the priest and do Pooja.
02:29So Lakshmi Poojan is very very auspicious.
02:31And it is said that Lakshmi should always be happy.
02:34And this is her day.
02:36It is her day every day.
02:37But this day is very important for her.
02:46In Dhanteras, people buy gold and silver.
02:49They go and buy something small.
02:51They plant flowers on the day of Dhanteras.
02:57They get up in the morning and make Rangoli.
02:59They light a Diya.
03:01They go to the market.
03:03There is also a time for that.
03:04At that time, on the day of Dhanteras, you can buy gold and silver.
03:09Anything new and good.
03:11Bring it home and worship it.
03:13And this is what we do on the day of Dhanteras.
03:20Candles, lamps, lights.
03:23All this feels very good.
03:24It feels positive.
03:25And as we have been doing this in India.
03:28It is said that as soon as the sun sets, put a Diya in the house.
03:32It has become a habit.
03:33I have a habit.
03:34I do the same with my son.
03:36There is a small Diya.
03:38Nowadays, candles are also lit.
03:40But this is very important.
03:42And it should also feel like Diwali.
03:44There is an atmosphere.
03:45Nowadays, not many people do this.
03:47But I like it.
03:48I do this colorfully.
03:49I light candles.
03:50I buy sweets.
03:52I send gifts.
03:53So I like all this.
03:55Right now, I have taken 3-4 days off.
03:58And we also have a holiday from the set.
04:00If you want, I am shooting a lot on Alt Balaji.
04:04So now we have a holiday.
04:07So we will just stay with the family.
04:10We will have fun.
04:11We will eat a lot.
04:12We will drink.
04:13That's it.
04:18Let's make bangles.
04:21Let's make bangles.
04:23Chakli.
04:24Chakli is my favorite.
04:26I make a little more.
04:27So that I can take it to the set.
04:29I can eat it on the way.
04:30It's like a healthy Indian snack.
04:32Karanji.
04:33Shankarpali.
04:34I like all this very much.
04:36And if something is coming from outside,
04:38then I also like Kaju Katli.
04:40If you keep Kaju Katli in front of me,
04:41it will not be left.
04:42No, I don't do this diet.
04:44I mean, I feel our parents didn't do all this.
04:49They were just active.
04:50So I feel that if we stay active
04:52and eat everything time to time,
04:54which is in our Indian culture,
04:56sleep early, wake up early,
04:58eat on time,
04:59all this is perfect.
05:00In fact, it is also said internationally
05:02that the Indian diet is the best.
05:04So I feel that if we eat everything on time,
05:06sleep early, wake up early,
05:07eat on time,
05:08all this is perfect.
05:09In fact, it is also said internationally
05:11that the Indian diet is the best.
05:12So eat roti, sabzi, everything.
05:14Don't do any diet.
05:15So I don't diet.
05:16Yes, but I stay active.
05:18I do housework.
05:19I go for a walk.
05:20That's the only thing.
05:27We will celebrate.
05:28I mean, there will be an episode
05:29in which we will pretend to celebrate Diwali.
05:32People will come and party.
05:34That will be it.
05:35Nothing more will happen than that
05:36because we have also been given a three-day holiday.
05:42So I went to Amitabh Bachchan's house
05:46for the Diwali party.
05:48I had shot Baghban with him
05:50and I was very new.
05:52So that is very memorable for me
05:55because a small town girl coming
05:58and seeing so many stars,
06:00their clothes, their jewelry
06:02and he was so gracious.
06:04The food layout,
06:06everything was very good.
06:09So that was such an impression
06:11in the Diwali party.
06:13So I like their party.
06:16I also like Ekta Kapoor's party.
06:18Every year she celebrates her Diwali parties.
06:22That is also very grand.
06:23It feels good.
06:24Everyone makes an effort
06:25and comes together.
06:27So yes, I like these two parties.
06:36No, I don't play cards.
06:37I don't know how to play cards.
06:38I play Ludo.
06:39Digital Ludo.
06:40I get 1000 points
06:42and then I win.
06:43That is what keeps going up and down.
06:50I would like to say
06:51that have a safe Diwali.
06:53Sound Diwali.
06:54Do something good.
06:56Do some charity.
06:59So do that
07:00and just be happy.
07:02Live and let live
07:03and happy Diwali.
07:07Happy Diwali.
