For actor-filmmaker Prabhudheva and actress Hema Malini Diwali means family time, while newcomers like Ayushmann Khurrana and Taapsee Pannu will be working even on the festival of lights. Lillete Dube wishes to have grandchildren soon.
Here is what the celebrities plan and wish for Diwali, which is on Sunday:
Prabhudheva
I am in Chennai with my children for Diwali. Nowadays, with my schedules being what they are, I hardly get time to visit Chennai to be with my children. Diwali for me is family-time. This Diwali I wish I’d spend all my Diwalis with my children. And if I could have a second Diwali wish, I’d want “R… Rajkumar” to be a hit.
Raveena Tandon
There will be Laxmi Pujan and dinner with the family and close friends. After that I’ll be at Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan‘s for Ash’s birthday-cum-Diwali celebrations. For Diwali, I wish everyone would do something that would bring a smile to the face of someone in distress. Don’t light crackers, light up a life.
Hema Malini
I had a dance recital for Dhanteras. Then I plan to spend the Diwali weekend with the family.
Lillete Dube
Going for a warm family dinner where there will be large amounts of home cooked food. I am ready to put on some kilos every Diwali. I have a simple Diwali wish. I want to see some grandchildren soon.
