As homes across India glowed with diyas and laughter, Bollywood stars marked Diwali 2025 in their own heartfelt ways. Some kept it intimate with family, while others offered fans glimpses of gratitude and celebration through social media. From Shah Rukh Khan’s spiritual message to Kiara and Sidharth’s tender family moment, the festival saw a blend of glamour, nostalgia, and emotion.

Shah Rukh Khan began the celebrations with a warm message for fans. Sharing a serene picture of a woman—believed to be Gauri Khan—offering prayers, he wrote, “Happy Diwali to everyone! May Goddess Lakshmi ji bless you with prosperity and happiness. Wishing love, light and peace to all.”

His post reflected simplicity and grace, setting the tone for a Diwali focused on gratitude rather than grandeur. Fans flooded his comments with wishes, calling the message “purely heartwarming.”

Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra celebrated their first Diwali as new parents, giving fans an intimate peek into their quiet joy. Kiara posted pictures of the couple dressed in matching yellow outfits, surrounded by greenery. Her caption didn’t need many words—the smiles said it all. Fans called them “sunshine couple” and “pure happiness.” The post beautifully captured how Diwali often becomes even more special when it marks a new chapter in life.

Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna celebrated the festival in London, mixing humour with nostalgia. Twinkle shared pictures in a pink suit beside Akshay in a beige-silver kurta, writing, “All dressed up with no mithai in sight. So behaving like oranges are the new laddoos and sharing some Vitamin C loaded sweetness.”

Her caption added, “Temple visit next with real mithai. Happy Diwali to everyone and may your world be filled with light, love and laughter.”

The candid photos showed them laughing and feeding each other sweets—a refreshing, real glimpse of married life.

Vijay Deverakonda called Diwali his “favouriteee festival” and shared videos of fireworks lighting up the night sky. His cheerful message, “Sending you all big hugs and all my loveee,” carried the same easy charm fans adore him for. The post quickly went viral among his fans across languages, showing how regional boundaries blur when festivals come around.

Kangana Ranaut kept her Diwali simple and heartfelt. Posting a video from her house, she wrote, “Best wishes on the occasion of Diwali, the great festival of light and joy.” Her clip showed lamps, flowers, and a quiet family moment—an understated celebration that matched her traditional side.

Actor Shraddha Kapoor shared a warm Diwali moment dressed in a cream-golden ethnic outfit, holding a puja thali with a bright smile. Captioning it “Ab tak kyun jaage ho??? Ho gayi Happy Diwali 🪔,” she blended her playful charm with festive spirit, spreading light, laughter, and warmth among her fans.

Ananya Panday’s Diwali post this year carried emotion more than glamour. The actress wore her mother Bhavana Pandey’s 20-year-old mauve embellished suit to Karan Johar’s annual Diwali puja. She wrote, “Filled with love and light,” honouring both nostalgia and simplicity.

Later, she shared pictures from her home puja with her parents, Chunky and Bhavana Pandey. The images showed sweets, prasad, and diyas arranged beautifully. Her followers praised the sentiment behind rewearing her mother’s outfit—a small yet meaningful gesture.

Parents-to-be Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal kept their Diwali quiet but affectionate.

The subtle posts reflected calm anticipation as they prepare for their first child.

Filmmaker Karan Johar shared a warm family photo with his twins Yash and Roohi, both dressed in Manish Malhotra designs. He wrote, “Happy Diwali to one and all. May the year be full of light, love and laughter. From mine to yours.”

The photos showed the trio beaming with joy. In one frame, Roohi is seen holding their pet dog; in another, the kids kiss and hug their father. The post resonated with followers who love seeing the director’s softer, family-oriented side.

For Lara Dutta, this Diwali carried a touch of sadness. Sharing an old picture of celebrating with her late father, husband Mahesh Bhupathi, and daughter Saira, she wrote, “Navigating a Diwali without my dad. In the quiet solemnity of Diwali this year, I am grateful for my family and for the blessings of my father.”

Her post struck a chord with many who’ve experienced similar loss, reminding that festivals often bring both light and longing.
