Diwali is all about celebration! It's the time of loads of fun with a joyous celebration of lights, with friends, family, food and crackers! It's the time to put your hair down, rejoicing and enjoying yourself in happiness. While we do a round up of what the Bollywood stars are planning to do this Diwali, from the team of MIO we convey you our hearty wishes on the occasion of Diwali. Have a blessed and wonderful time!

Tusshar Kapoor: Tusshar Kapoor is not in home and this is the second time in a row, he'll miss the celebration back home. Actually Tusshar is away from home in Cape Town shooting for 'Kya Love Story Hai' with Ayesha Takia. Needless to say that at this festive season he is missing home terribly. "I prefer working throughout the year, but this is the second consecutive time that I'm away from home for Diwali. I'll bring in the festival in South Africa by planning a unit party. That should be fun!"

Minissha Lamba: Minissha Lamba is planning to celebrate her Diwali in Katmandu. "Diwali is the time to celebrate. It holds great significance in our culture. I just want to sit back and enjoy to the hilt."

Upen Patel: while everyone around are buying gifts for near and dear ones, Upen Patel has decided to get himself a gift instead! He is a gizmo freak and has bought a Sony Vaio laptop this festive season. He is making up for his celebration shooting for Suneel Darshan's 'Shaka Laka Boom Boom' in South Africa, but he is missing his family a lot.

Koena Mitra: Koena Mitra is planning to fly to her hometown Kolkata as she feels that Mumbai celebrates Diwali differently from the way it is being celebrated in her place. "I worship Maa Kaali and for me Diwali is still Kaali Puja. I may go to Kolkata depending on my schedule. We have a grand Laxmi Puja at home. As a kid I remember bursting crackers, lighting diyas and candles. If I'm in Mumbai I will definitely have a small puja at home and I may also visit the Shani temple in Juhu. I also intend to buy gifts for close friends."

Madavan: He is quite off for the reason that that he will have to spend Diwali away from his family, shooting in Kolkata. "But I'll make sure Diwali with Ritu, Jaya Bachchan and Konkona will be special. I like shooting in Kolkata, I've a good fan following in that city."

Sushma Reddy: Sushma Reddy loves spending time with her family and Diwali gives her a special reason to rejoice. She loves this time as t he entire family can get together. "We clean up the entire house, light diyas, and do the rangoli. Sometimes my mom even makes our traditional sweets. My sisters Sameera and Meghna are coming back and I am looking forward to spending quality time with all of them. Meghna's birthday also falls in between so it's a double bash for me."

Rahul Bose: Rahul Bose thinks that one doesn't need to have a festival for celebration. "I am not religious at all. I will be carrying through my social work in Andaman and then I'll go to Delhi to meet a few people. Festivals are definitely a great opportunity to get together and catch up with loved ones but one doesn't have to sit back and wait for an occasion to enjoy."

Sammir Dattani: Sammir Dattani will be shooting but he is lucky enough to get 2 days off in between. "As a kid I enjoyed bursting crackers though the enthusiasm has kind off fizzled out now. Diwali has been one of my favourite festivals. It is a family affair. It means catching up with friends and relatives. We have puja followed by a family dinner. I'll go to Worli sea face and burst crackers with my kid cousins."
