00:00Well, Diwali is one of my favorite festivals, so this year I am not celebrating it for personal
00:11reasons.
00:12But otherwise, I feel that my happiness increases by sharing it with others.
00:17So I like to, you know, like there are small kids in schools, in the street schools, to
00:24go there and light lamps and give crackers.
00:27I think my Diwali is mostly like that.
00:35Of course, Diwali, Lakshmi Poojan is a very important part of Diwali.
00:40Secondly, where we come from, my father was from Orissa, so we had a ritual where I think
00:46sugarcane and jaggery, there was a ritual in Rajputs, which is very interesting.
00:53I can't do it, but I remember it very well.
00:57Secondly, the way we make Rangoli, I learned it in my childhood.
01:03So basically, I think there are very good memories of Diwali in Delhi, because I am from Delhi.
01:13I don't go to a lot of parties, and on Diwali, I mostly stay at my house, so I won't be
01:20able to tell you about that, and neither do I play cards, so I'm a little boring like that.
01:25But definitely, there were a lot of Diwali fairs in Delhi, so it was a lot of fun to go there.
01:30And of course, meeting your neighbors and, you know, making Rangoli on the same floor,
01:36so the interaction with neighbors at that time is amazing.
01:44Everyone is very excited, and as you saw today, all our staff are making Rangoli there.
01:50Our dress department, our hair department, makeup department, everyone is very excited.
01:56And I hope that this Diwali brings a lot of happiness for everyone.
02:05I always say one thing, that a lamp doesn't just light up the outside.
02:12You have to somehow end your inner Ravan, or you have to end your inner darkness, or your lower frequencies.
02:21So Diwali is a time when you actually face the fact that, you know, light and darkness both live together.
02:30So light up your inner light, and end your inner darkness and outer darkness.
02:41Diwali!
