Diwali Special: COLORS’ actors talk about their Diwali memories and celebrations

Shagun Pandey portraying the role of Veer in COLORS’ ‘Mera Balam Thanedaar’ shares, “This Diwali will be a bit different for me, as I’ll be away from my family, shooting for Mera Balam Thanedaar. Growing up, Diwali was all about family, decorating the house with my sister, lighting diyas with my dad, and eating lots of homemade sweets. My sister and I would always have a friendly competition over who could make the best rangoli, and I’ll really miss that this year. But this Diwali is also special because in the show, my character will finally be getting his uniform back, making it a moment of pride and celebration on set. While I’m not with my family, I’ll still celebrate my favourite festival on-screen and off-screen. Wishing everyone a joyful, blessed, and eco-conscious Diwali!”

Ashnoor Kaur playing the role of Suman in COLORS’ ‘Suman Indori’ shares, “Diwali always brings a sense of positivity, warmth & joy! This year, as I am shooting for my show Suman Indori, I’m thrilled to celebrate with my new onscreen family and make new memories. For me, Diwali is about spending time with the people you love the most. This Diwali is extra special, as I’ll be celebrating my first Diwali in my new home… We’ll decorate the house with diyas, enjoy sweets, and make the most of the festive vibes. I’d stopped bursting crackers since i was a kid, so it’s all about celebrating in an eco-friendly way with love and light! Wishing everyone a Happy Diwali full of warmth and happiness!”

Pranali Rathod essaying the role of Durga in COLORS’ ‘Durga’ shares, “Diwali holds a special place in my heart, both on and off screen. Shooting the Diwali sequence in ‘Durga’ has been a truly meaningful experience as we aim to present something unique and different that will surprise viewers in each upcoming episode. For me, Diwali embodies lights, love, and laughter. I wish all my fans a fantastic Diwali filled with happiness, joy, and precious moments with loved ones. May this festival brighten your hearts and homes. Keep watching ‘Durga’ and enjoy the upcoming storyline set against this beautiful festival.”

Ankur Verma playing the role of Rajeev in COLORS’ ‘Parineetii’ shares, “When I think of Diwali, mithais are the first thing that comes to mind! As a kid, my mom made the best sweets, and even now, I indulge eat them, without worrying about fitness. I’ve never been away from my family during Diwali, and I hope this year won’t be any different. Every year I visit my childhood friends for a wholesome Diwali gathering. We play games and eat a lot of delicious food. My celebrations are always sustainable lighting diyas and spending time with loved ones. While I’m not into bursting crackers, the Diwali sequence on Parineetii is going to be full of literal fireworks! I can’t wait for everyone to see the dhamakedaar drama we’ve worked on. Wishing everyone a happy and safe Diwali!”

Neha Rana portraying the role of Megha in COLORS’ ‘Megha Barsenge’ shares, “I cherish my childhood memories of decorating the house with diyas and helping my mom make those delicious gujiyas that would fill our home with its amazing aromas. Each year, my family gather for a special Lakshmi Puja, and it was one of those times when my entire cousin gang came together, sharing laughter and joy. This year, while I’m busy shooting for Megha Barsenge, I’m excited to celebrate with my on-screen family as well. I’ll take out some time to shop for gifts for my loved ones. Let’s celebrate with love, spread joy, and remember to avoid pollution by not bursting crackers. Wishing everyone a happy and prosperous Diwali.”
