New Delhi, Nov 1 They leave the comfort of their homes to pursue their dreams in showbiz in the entertainment capital. But most television actors prefer celebrating Diwali, the festival of lights, with their family.
Actor Iqbal Khan is looking forward to spending time with his wife Sneha.
'Diwali is a very special time for my wife Sneha and me. Given that I am shooting through the year, getting a few days off is a rare luxury. The three days of Diwali is a period that we spend together at home in blissful solitude.
'It wins hands down over going out or partying. Sneha is very fond of decorating the entire house with lights and diyas for this festive occasion,' he said.
There are others who are keen to be with their family on Diwali, but aren't sure whether they will get an off.
Additi Gupta, Pihu of Zee TV's 'Sanjog Se Bani Sangini', said: 'Shooting schedules and other work related commitments rarely leave us with much time for anything else. So if I get an off itself, it will be a cause for celebration for me. However, I will definitely try joining my family for the puja.'
