Mumbai, Oct 19 (NationPress) As the joyous festival of Diwali approaches, several personalities from the television sector have taken the opportunity to unveil their cherished Diwali traditions and the nostalgic memories intertwined with this vibrant celebration.

Actor Paras Arora, known for his role as Jeetu in &TV’s forthcoming series Gharwali Pedwali, expressed that Diwali holds a special place in his heart as it fosters unity among loved ones.

Discussing his typical Diwali celebrations at home, he described, "In my hometown, we commence our day with a family pooja and adorn our home with fresh marigold flowers. My mother and I create a beautiful rangoli at the entrance, and the aroma of homemade sweets envelops the entire house. A cherished tradition for us is lighting diyas across the balcony and terrace; it creates a magical ambiance when the entire neighborhood shines together."

Nonetheless, due to work commitments, Paras will be filming on Diwali this year.

"I intend to celebrate on set with my Gharwali Pedwali family. It promises to be a Diwali filled with laughter, lights, and togetherness," he shared.

Moreover, Yogesh Tripathi, who has won acclaim for his role as Daroga Happu Singh in Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, also shared the significance of Diwali in his life.

He mentioned that for him, Diwali is a time to revisit childhood memories.

Recalling his celebrations as a child, Yogesh said, "Growing up in Uttar Pradesh, we would begin our preparations days ahead, cleaning the house, painting diyas, and making gujiyas with my mother."

"Even today, I uphold these small traditions with my family. I personally oversee lighting diyas in every corner of the house and perform the Lakshmi-Ganesh puja with my children. After the puja, we relish homemade snacks and light a few eco-friendly crackers together. Diwali revives the excitement and innocence I experienced as a child. It embodies the essence of celebrating light, family, and gratitude," he concluded.
