Every
year,
the
Diwali
euphoria
is
quite
high
in
Bollywood
with
many
big
names
from
the
industry
hosting
star-studded
Diwali
bashes.
One
among
them
are
the
Bachchans
whose
annual
Diwali
party
is
packed
with
star
power
and
the
talk
of
town
for
several
days.
However,
this
year,
the
Bachchans
have
decided
to
do
away
with
their
annual
Diwali
party.
Abhishek
Bachchan
confirmed
this
news
while
speaking
with
an
entertainment
portal.
Abhishek
Reveals
Why
The
Bachchans
Won't
Be
Hosting
Their
Annual
Diwali
Bash
This
Year
The
actor
told
Spotboye
in
an
interview,
"It's
true.
We
had
a
death
in
the
family
this
year.
My
sister
Shweta's
mother-in-law
(Ritu
Nanda)
passed
away.
Besides,
who
hosts
parties
at
a
time
like
this?
Civilization
is
going
through
the
worst
crisis
ever.
We
all
need
to
be
as
careful
as
possible.
Observing
the
utmost
social
distance
is
the
only
option
we
have.
And
that
too
is
not
a
guarantee
against
infection.
Diwali
parties
and
other
social
occasions
are
for
now
a
distant
dream."
Abhishek
Bachchan
Talks
About
Uncertain
Times
He
added,
"There
is
no
guarantee
of
immunity
just
because
one
has
gone
through
it.
It's
all
so
uncertain.
One
has
to
just
push
along
hoping
for
the
best."
The
Bachchans
Went
Through
The
Ordeal
Of
COVID-19
Earlier
This
Year
In
July
this
year,
Abhishek
Bachchan,
his
wife
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan,
daughter
Aaradhya
and
father
Amitabh
Bachchan
tested
positive
for
COVID-19
and
were
admitted
in
Mumbai's
Nanavati
hospital.
Aishwarya
and
Aaradhya
recovered
first,
followed
by
Big
B.
Abhishek
stayed
in
the
hospital
for
almost
a
month
until
he
was
COVID-19
free.
Speaking
about
work,
Abhishek
Bachchan
will
next
be
seen
in
Anurag
Basu's
Ludo
and
Kookie
Gulati's
The
Big
Bull.
