Deepika
Padukone
To
Celebrate
Diwali
With
Her
Family
At
Home
The
actress
said,
"Honestly,
we
are
going
to
keep
things
quite
low
key,
keeping
in
the
mind
the
sensitivity
(of
the
situation)
towards
the
environment
and
the
people
around
us.
It's
been
a
difficult
year
for
many
in
different
ways
[owing
to
the
pandemic].
So,
what
we
intend
to
do
is,
to
stay
at
home,
do
a
simple
pooja
and
spend
time
with
family.
Normally,
that's
what
we,
any
way,
do.
She
further
continued,
"Like
I
said,
it's
been
an
incredibly
difficult
year
[as
a
result
of
the
pandemic]
but
what
our
festivals
do
is
that
they
kind
of
give
you
a
sense
of
hope
and
something
to
look
forward
to."
Deepika
Padukone
Wishes
Good
Health
And
Peace
For
Everybody
On
being
asked
about
her
big
Diwali
wish,
Deepika
revealed,
"This
year,
on
Diwali,
if
I
had
to
wish
for
something
for
everybody,
it
would
be
good
health
and
peace
of
mind.
And
that's
my
prayer
for
people
most
of
the
time,
even
when
I
wish
them
on
their
birthdays
as
I
feel
that's
the
real
core
of
everything
we
do.
Everything
else
is
secondary."
Deepika
Padukone
Shares
Her
Memories
Of
Celebrating
Diwali
As
A
Kid
"My
memories
of
Diwali
is
all
about
spending
quality
time
with
family
and
friends.
In
fact,
that's
what
I
look
forward
to
this
year
as
well.
When
you
are
in
school,
you
look
forward
to
the
fact
that
you
would
have
some
days-off.
Plus,
your
working
parents
would
also
not
have
to
go
to
work.
Your
friends
in
the
building
would
also
have
days-off.
So,
things
were
always
extremely
simple,
and
never
too
big
or
extravagant.
Nevertheless,
those
memories
will
always
be
very
special,"
the
actress
said.
Deepika
Padukone
Says
She
Has
A
Bittersweet
Feeling
This
Year
The
Padmaavat
actress
said,
"Every
year,
one
looks
forward
to
festivals.
This
year,
though,
is
slightly
different
because
of
the
various
things
that
different
people
have
gone
through
(due
to
the
pandemic).
But
at
the
end
of
it,
a
festival
is
all
about
hope,
so,
I
would
say
it's
a
kind
of
bittersweet
feeling
this
year."
