Missing home during Diwali!

Diwali is a festival where people enjoy the festival enthusiastically but here we speak to TV celebs who stay away from their home town and miss being with their families during this auspicious festival...

Diwali is a Festival of Lights, which we celebrate with our loved ones but many of our busy TV actors miss all the fun during the festival as they are too caught up in their shoots and get no leave to go their home town.

TellyBuzz speaks to TV actors who share their memories about how they celebrated Diwali back home and how much they will miss it this year...

Ratan Rajput who was seen playing the character of Princess Amba in Star Plus' Mahabharat: "Lakshmi puja is very important during Diwali. I won't be able to go to my hometown in Patna this year for Diwali but I will be doing Lakshmi puja at my home in Mumbai. I want to devote my time and want to seek blessings from Goddess Lakshmi and Ganeshji this Diwali. We used to have Paan (Beetle Leaf) on the day of Diwali after having dinner which I will miss this time and I will also miss the Kathal ki sabzi' and Aaloo Dum' which my mom cooks on Diwali.

I remember that during my childhood days, we used to buy crackers and keep them in the sunlight so that the noise would be louder when they are light up. We used to make Gharondas during childhood and now we all are having our own house in which we will seek blessings and prosperity during the Lakshmi puja. If my Mom and Dad would have been here they would have also wished for the same during Laxmi Puja and would have arranged everything but now I will have to do everything on my own after learning from them. However, I will be going to my hometown on 5th November for Chatth puja."

In Umargaon, Gujarat, where the mythological is being shot, the actors hang out together enjoying walks in the lush environs.

As a Diwali gift, Shaheer plans to give Rohit a box of almonds.

"He's forgetful and has a terrible memory," he says. Rohit adds, "I would like to get Shaheer enrolled in a financial deposit plan. He is a spendthrift and he needs to start saving."

Sudesh Berry's journey in Life OK's Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev (Triangle Film Company) is finally coming to an end. It is in this show that Sudesh played a dual role of Manni and Malla.

When Tellychakkar.com asked actor Sudesh about the same, he said, "The righteous always triumphs over evil; that's an established fact. Therefore Malla will die. I have completed my role with Devon Ke Dev...Mahadev and am currently focusing on my character role of Draupad in Star Plus' Mahabharat who marks his entry tentatively by 15 November."

Now let's wait and watch as to what happens after Malla dies in the show!!!

Though we are conscious about our health today we tend to eat sweets during Diwali as those are so yummy to eat it.

Let's see what TV celebs have to share with us...

  • Veebha (Vibha) Anand to be seen as Subhadra in Star Plus' Mahabharat - "Whatever food is prepared at our home in Diwali is prepared by my Mom. There is nothing special but my Mom used to make Coconut sweets for sure. I used to help my Mom while making it but now I hardly get a chance to visit to my home so I miss doing it. I remember how we used to do puja and keep diyas outside our house which only I used to do it because I love doing it. We used to have lots of sweets during Diwali without caring about gaining weight."

When we asked Rohit Bhardwaj about his Diwali plans he says, "Since seven years I celebrate Diwali in my home town with my family besides the celebration with my co-star on the sets of Mahabharat". On being asked which cracker his friend Shaheer can be compared to he says, " He's a sky shot. He's bright with lots of light and goes high up into the air. I want to gift him a financial investment plan this Diwali. We are great buddies since Navya days and now since we are playing brothers on-screen too the bond has increased and we even go out for a stroll near our set as the environment around our set is lush green and there is a beach too".

Well we wish your dostana continues forever!
