Rubina Dilaik as seen on COLORS’ ‘Dhamaal with Pati Patni Aur Panga’ says, “Back home in Himachal, Diwali is a celebration of the harvest season, and the festivities are very different there. The air smells of pine because homes are cleaned and decorated with pine leaves and earthen lamps. Kitchens come alive with treats like sidu, mittha, and bathu, recipes that have been passed down for generations. Villages light up with deity processions, folk music, and laughter echoing through the hills. This year is extra special because it’s our twins’ second time witnessing the festival. I can’t wait to watch Edhaa and Jeeva clap with excitement and see the joy of Diwali through their eyes.. It excites me to introduce them to the family traditions I grew up with. The celebration this time on the sets of ‘Dhamaal with Pati Patni Aur Panga’ felt like an extension of that warmth — the same fun chaos, laughter, and togetherness I felt back in my hometown only this time surrounded by my on-set family of co-stars and friends. As the festival of lights shines upon us, I hope it brings peace, joy, and serenity into everyone’s lives. May it remind us that no matter where we are, love and gratitude are the brightest lights of all. Happy Diwali!”
Gurmeet as seen on COLORS’ ‘Dhamaal with Pati Patni Aur Panga’ says, “Diwali, for me, is all about the joy of creating memories. What makes our festivities special is how two worlds come together — the traditions of Bihar from my side of the family and the rituals of Bengal from Debina’s. Our home takes on a spirited vibe with chants ,conch shells, sweets and diyas, where every corner carries a piece of both our roots. Debinna is the backbone of our celebrations. The way she brings devotion, décor, and detail together is an art. We are both spiritual, and this festival is about passing that love for rituals to our little ones, letting them know what the festival means for the family. Watching our daughters’ eyes light up during aarti feels wholesome. Debinna and I are looking forward to bringing in to our audience the Diwali special on ‘Dhamaal with Pati Patni Aur Panga’. Standing on that set, surrounded by laughter, lights, and love, feels very much like our home. Wishing everyone a Diwali that glows with togetherness, faith, and joy!”
Ayesha Singh, who plays Mannat in COLORS’ Mannat Har Khushi Paane Ki, shares, “I have such fond memories of celebrating festivals with my family — Bhai Dooj, especially, stands out because that’s when my brother and I really dial up our sibling banter! Festivals like Diwali have a magical way of bringing out the best in us, reminding us to pause, reconnect, and lead with gratitude. Playing the character of Mannat has been an incredible journey. The Diwali sequence in our show beautifully captures the spirit of persevering through darkness and believing that light will always find its way. This Diwali, let’s celebrate not just the festival, but also the people who bring light into our lives. Wishing everyone a very Happy and Prosperous Diwali!”
Manav Gohil portraying the role of Dayanand in COLORS’ ‘Binddii’ shares, “Diwali is the time I need to be surrounded by my people. Growing up in a Gujarati household, our celebrations always revolved around food, faith, and togetherness. I still remember waiting to feast on my mother’s farsan, the laughter around the table, and the excitement of Bestu Varas. At home, we follow all our Gujarati traditions — coming together for a meal, conducting pujas, and celebrating with gratitude. This festival isn’t just about illuminating our homes, but about rekindling what matters most: love, faith, and the strength of being together. This year, while filming Binddii, I found myself reflecting on that contrast. Stepping into the world of Dayanand, a man surrounded by shadows and secrets, made me realize just how precious these moments of warmth and connection are. Even when the story dives into tension and darkness, the festival reminds me that hope always finds a way to shine through. This Diwali, I hope everyone reconnects with their loved ones. Because togetherness is the key to happiness. With this thought I wish my audience a very Happy Diwali !”
Deepika Singh essaying the role of Mangal in COLORS’ ‘Mangal Lakshmi’ shares, “Every Diwali we celebrate the triumph of light over darkness , may we also let go of the negativity within ourselves and embrace positivity in and around us. For me, Diwali is not just a festival of lights; it’s a time to reflect and cleanse, not just our homes, but our minds and hearts. Before the festival, we follow the tradition of cleaning the house. For me, this process is far from an external tidying; it’s about removing energy blockages, letting go of what no longer serves us, and creating space for positivity and prosperity. Once the home is tidy, it is ready to welcome Maa Lakshmi. I especially enjoy cleaning my wardrobes, donating items I no longer need, and making rangoli to bring color and warmth into my home. This ritual is deeply spiritual – a way to look within, recognize negativity, and address it through mindfulness, meditation, and positive thoughts. It’s about purifying the self as much as the surroundings. Diwali is also about togetherness – spending time with family, sharing meals, enjoying sweets, lighting diyas, and creating memories. This year, while I’ll be shooting a special sequence for Mangal Lakshmi where Mangal sets out for Mussoorie with her kids. I will also be celebrating Diwali with my reel family on set, and that too feels special with the same warmth, laughter, and joy of my home. Let’s welcome the festival with open hearts and cherish the light around us. Wishing you all a very Happy Diwali!”
