While
many
celebrities
are
looking
forward
to
spending
time
with
their
loved
ones
this
Diwali,
Kiara
Advani
has
other
plans.
The
actress
will
be
shooting
for
a
film
during
the
festival
of
lights
and
therefore
will
be
giving
the
Bollywood
parties
a
miss.
Although
she
would
have
liked
to
attend
them,
she
feels
that
health
precedes
everything.
In
an
interview
with
Hindustan
Times,
Kiara
said,
"Diwali
always
means
celebration
with
loved
ones,
while
we
may
be
away
from
each
other,
technology
has
made
it
possible
to
stay
connected,
and
this
year,
we've
been
putting
tech
to
its
fullest
use
with
virtual
meets
for
everything.
So,
Diwali
also
be
a
similar
affair.
I'll
be
in
Chandigarh
for
shoot,
so
will
celebrate
with
my
film
cast
and
crew
and
virtually
with
my
family."
When
asked
if
she
will
miss
the
Diwali
parties
that
are
usually
hosted
all
across
Tinseltown,
Kiara
said,
,
"I
do
enjoy
the
annual
gatherings
and
celebrations,
we
usually
always
look
forward
to
it,
however,
health
precedes
everything
and
this
year,
we'd
would
give
the
get-togethers
a
miss
and
enjoy
celebrating
virtually
instead.
Diwali
would
come
again
next
year,
right?
It's
only
now
that
we
need
to
be
cautious,
so
a
year
of
social
distancing
is
acceptable."
Talking
about
work,
Kiara
was
last
seen
in
the
comedy
horror
Laxmii,
sharing
screen
space
with
Akshay
Kumar.
The
film
was
directed
by
Raghava
Lawrence,
and
was
a
remake
of
his
2011
Tamil
film
Kanchana.
It
premiered
on
Disney+
Hotstar
recently,
and
broke
viewership
records
on
the
OTT
platform.
Kiara
will
next
be
seen
in
Indoo
Ki
Jawaani,
a
coming-of-age
comedy
film,
which
also
stars
Aditya
Seal.
Its
release
was
postponed
due
to
the
COVID-19
pandemic.
