The
ongoing
COVID-19
pandemic
can't
dampen
the
festive
mood
of
actress
Shilpa
Shetty
Kundra,
as
she
is
excited
to
celebrate
the
festival
with
her
newborn
Samisha
Shetty
Kundra.
For
the
unversed,
Shilpa
and
Raj
Kundra
welcomed
their
second
child
via
surrogacy
in
February
2020.
While
speaking
to
a
leading
daily,
Shilpa
Shetty
revealed
how
she
is
gearing
up
for
Diwali
celebration
and
said,
"Diwali
will
be
just
perfect,
because
the
family
will
all
be
together.
It's
how
you
look
at
it.
It's
more
special
because
we
have
our
own
little
Laxmi,
Samisha
with
us,
and
it's
her
first
Diwali!"
She
further
added,
"It
will
be
a
low
key,
and
no
card
party
of
course,
unfortunately
or
visiting
anyone
But
I
have
done
tests
before
and
after
every
shoot,
or
even
if
I
have
visited
anyone.
I
intend
to
continue
with
that
practice."
Apart
from
Shilpa
Shetty,
actress
Raveena
Tandon
and
actor
Abhishek
Bachchan
will
also
keep
this
Diwali
a
strict
family
affair.
Abhishek,
whose
family
is
well-known
for
throwing
grand
Diwali
bash,
said,
"Traditionally,
we
celebrate
Diwali
with
our
near
and
dear
ones
from
the
fraternity,
we
invite
people
home.
But
this
year,
it's
not
that
as
we
had
a
few
deaths
in
the
family.
Add
to
that,
apart
from
the
fact
that
we
can't
have
a
large
gathering
either,
it
will
be
insensitive
when
the
country
has
gone
through
such
difficult
couple
of
months,
to
go
out
and
celebrate.
This
year's
Diwali
will
be
special
as
it's
a
family
affair,
we
all
will
do
Laxmi
puja
in
the
evening,
as
we
always
do,
and
spend
the
evening
together."
Raveena,
on
the
other
hand,
is
currently
in
Himachal
Pradesh
shooting
for
her
next
project.
She
said
that
her
kids
will
join
her
there
soon,
and
she
will
have
an
intimate
Diwali
celebration
with
her
family.
"We
will
definitely
be
careful
and
take
all
the
necessary
precautions
since
the
pandemic
hasn't
gotten
over
yet.
But
yes,
a
nice
sweet,
little
celebration
is
what
we
have
planned
for
this
year," added
Raveena.
