Diwali EXCLUSIVE | Meet Star Ashi Singh On Celebration Plans & Childhood Memories: We Get A Couple…

Happy Diwali 2023: The Diwali festival, also known as the festival of lights, has commenced and is joyously observed around the world. Over the five-day Diwali celebration, people engage in festive gatherings, fireworks, feasts, and prayer. Additionally, various rituals are performed in honor of Goddess Lakshmi and various other Gods and Goddesses.

Derived from "Deepavali," Diwali translates to "a row of lights." During this time, individuals illuminate traditional clay oil lamps outside their homes, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance.

SIGNIFICANCE OF DIWALI

Choti Diwali, also called Naraka Chaturdashi, is celebrated a day before Diwali. During this day, people worship Lord Hanuman, Maa Kali, Lord Krishna, and Yama to seek redemption for past sins. This year, Diwali is celebrated today, on November 12.

Ashi Singh, the television star currently portraying the female protagonist Sumeet in ZEE TV's well-received show Meet, also shared her thoughts on Diwali festivities and childhood memories related to the festival of lights.

ASHI SINGH ON DIWALI FESTIVITIES

Talking about the festival of Diwali, Ashi Singh said, "To me, Diwali is about togetherness and having a great opportunity to spend quality time with your family. As we shoot for long hours, we don't usually get an ample amount of time to spend with our loved ones. So, during this festive season, we get a couple of days where we all stay under one roof and enjoy to our heart's full content. I have tons of lovely childhood memories of Diwali, and one thing that I still enjoy the most about this festival is the food. I would like all my fans to please not burst crackers and go for a green Diwali. Instead, light a Diya and spread warmth and happiness to people around."

Here's wishing a very happy Diwali to everyone!
