Diwali 2022: Niharika Chouksey, Ami Trivedi and cast of Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and Faltu open up about their Diwali plans

Ami Trivedi :
“Work and party (laughs). So it's a mix of everything that I love to do. For me not just Diwali but every festival is an excuse, a very beautiful way to be together with your loved ones and the people you care about and have fun with them. It's a huge difference from the last couple of years since this year we are pandemic free, I would be very much in Mumbai, more specifically at work. I remember when my mom, my mami and my masi, these 3 used to get together right around Diwali and they would make these amazing snacks which is a staple of every Gujarati household. As children, we used to excitedly wait for our mom to make Gujiya and other snacks. We used to be the happiest. That would be my fondest childhood Diwali memories.”

Pragati Mehra:
“We have been informed and requested to shoot on Diwali day since the show is now 7 days a week. So it's welcoming (Goddess) Laxmi ji on sets literally and figuratively. So for us it is dress up and show up! For me, Diwali is full of family time. It is only and always family time. Pandemic or not, family is and was always around, so it's the same. For the past 21 years, Mumbai has been my home and hometown. The fondest childhood Diwali memories are dressing up and visiting my parents' clinics for puja, then over to relatives and finally Pooja at home. Khao piyo aur mast raho! (eat well and stay happy) Of course, besides the gifts!”

Niharika Chouksey:
“Diwali is one of my most favourite festivals. I always look forward to the lights, sweets, shopping, pooja and the whole festival of Diwali gives me so much positivity. This year most probably I will be shooting and I am so happy that it will be my working Diwali as an actor I couldn’t ask for anything better.”

Akash Ahuja:
“I'll be spending this Diwali lighting diyas and maybe playing some cards with my family back in Delhi. It's always good to be home on such occasions as I'm busy in Mumbai otherwise. I'd wish for good health for my family and everyone else, also I'd wish for the hard work that all of us have put in Faltu to pay off and for people to like our show.”
