festival
of
Diwali,
Yukti
Kapoor
said,
"This
year
for
Diwali,
Ill
be
visiting
my
hometown
Jaipur
and
will
be
celebrating
Diwali
with
my
family
and
friends
in
Jaipur.
In
my
childhood
days,
we
all
used
to
be
excited
about
buying
and
bursting
crackers,
and
we
used
to
burst
crackers
till
five
in
the
morning.
Fans
are
like
my
family,
and
I
wish
all
of
them
a
happy
and
safe
Diwali.
I
would
request
that
everyone
not
burst
crackers
and
keep
the
environment
noise-
and
pollution-free.
Love
and
light!"
Here's
wishing
a
very
happy
Diwali
to
everyone!
