Diwali 2022: Pyar Ka Pehla Naam Radha Mohan lead actress Neeharika Roy and the rest of the star cast talk about their Diwali plans
Neeharika Roy (Radha):
“Diwali gives me positive energy and happiness. I can imagine that auspicious moment when Lord Rama and Goddess Seeta returned to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana. And people welcomed them by decorating diyas that remove all darkness and usher in positivity. This Diwali I have no special plans because of my busy schedule. However, I will at least buy some new dresses, sweets, diyas and noise-free crackers like phuljhadi, chakri, anar etc. I plan to wear a traditional saree in the evening as I do every Diwali. I will decorate my house with diyas and lights and will also help mother make the rangoli. Then we will do the puja and I will crack some crackers with my father and enjoy some sweets and homemade kheer. The next day there will most likely be a shoot. I have many fond memories of Diwali and this was the first time in my life that I bought crackers with my father. It was very memorable and funny. I didn’t recognize the types of crackers, but insisted that my father buy those crackers with nice pictures and stickers on the box. At night, when I lit the crackers (phuljhari) for the first time with the help of my father, that feeling was really amazing and memorable.
Sumit Aroraa (Ajeet):
“I am always excited about Diwali and love to decorate the house. I also like to do the puja and spend time with my family. It is one of the important festivals where we celebrate such a special time with family and fill our homes with positive energy. When we all do Laxmi puja, it’s a very special moment. During my childhood we did the puja and all my attention went to visiting my friends so we could all crack crackers. I miss my childhood of Diwali. It was much happier and happier. This time we could celebrate it big and meet our friends and relatives. Touchwood things are now normalized. Yes, I wanted to go to my hometown with my mom and dad to celebrate Diwali, but because of the shooting, I couldn’t. I am happy and blessed to be here celebrating with my on-screen family.”
Ranveer Singh Malik (Rahul):
“I am always very excited about Diwali because it is the perfect time to unite and unite. I feel that Diwali is a unifying event and can soften even the hardest of hearts. It is a time when people joyfully greet and embrace each other. The vibrations produced by the greetings of love, which fill the atmosphere, are powerful. When the heart is considerably hardened, only a continued celebration of Deepavali can revive the urgent need to turn from the destructive path of hatred. I also have many invitations for the Diwali party. The main ritual we do on Diwali is the Laxmi Pooja followed by Govardhan Pooja which is a ‘jaata’ community tradition we did at home in Chandigarh and then we burst out some crackers.
Swati Shah (Kadambari):
“My Diwali is always very special. I like the colors and lights. My husband and I love festivals and Diwali is a time when we become little kids again. We go for a walk in the evening to see the lights and love the feeling. There is so much activity around us where people are happy and shopping, and I go to the market area to see the different types of lamps being sold. Everything makes me very happy. My plan for Diwali is to decorate my house. Every year I have a different theme. Sometimes it’s just marigold flowers, sometimes it’s just lights and rose petals or sometimes it’s very Indian or contemporary. I like the party atmosphere. Even during the pandemic, I decorated my house. It has been our ritual for years that we touch the feet of our elderly. So my husband and I would visit our elders and mother-in-law. I believe that on Diwali we should keep our doors and windows open when Goddess Laxmi visits our home and we welcome her with lots of light and diyas.”
Manisha Purohit (Kaveri):
“I will be alone this Diwali in Mumbai. To me Diwali means family time and I love to decorate my home with diyas and lights. Being a gujju, there are many things I make and eat during this time. On Diwali we do the puja and take blessings from our elders. I remember in my childhood I was very excited to buy new clothes and colors for rangoli and later I burst crackers with my friends. However, one time while I was cracking crackers, my firecracker went to the patio and caught fire, so for the next Diwali’s I stopped playing with crackers.
