A Quote by Jackie Shroff

We never splurge on Diwali. How much can you spend on yourself? As it is, we do that throughout the year, so why not do something for others during Diwali?

It truly is the most amazing Indian festival. I love Diwali because of what it symbolises - it's a festival of light and how it takes over darkness and brings positivity into our lives. That's the essence of Diwali and it's beautiful.

First, I only get earthen lamps during Diwali, and I urge everyone to do so, so that people who make these diyas can earn money and have a good Diwali. Also, I celebrate the festival with special children. I take homemade sweets for them like halwa or jaggery and spend some time with them.

Sangram Singh

On Diwali, my parents, friends, cousins - everyone used to assemble at our home, where we used to have a Diwali mela.

Vaani Kapoor

I have always been an animal lover and I had pet dogs at home. On the day of Diwali, they would be so disturbed and scared that they would hide in a corner and would not come out. I had decided then that I would stop buying crackers on Diwali.

Mohit Raina

I spend Diwali in Delhi because it's such a big festival.

Tahir Raj Bhasin

I don't like the concept of crackers. Diwali is a festival of lights but we have a lot of sound too. I don't know how and why. It isn't good for Mother Earth especially the animals around.

Tejaswi Madivada

I used to spend not just my summer vacations at my Nani's house in Kanpur but my Diwali and Holi holidays too.

Vivek Agnihotri

I really miss how we used to celebrate Diwali when I was a kid.

Vaani Kapoor

I think the pollution due to crackers is coming down every year. I hope more people join in towards celebrating a non-polluted and eco-friendly Diwali.

Tejaswi Madivada

When Shah Rukh's film can make it to the theatres for Diwali, why can't my film release on the same day?

Hema Malini

I always try to come home for Diwali.

Ankit Tiwari

This morning take a few minutes to reflect on how you give of yourself to the world. Often we get caught up in the frenzy of buying and giving things. Look at the ways you give appreciation, friendship, energy, time, love, and affection, and give of your own special talents and abilities throughout the year. Acknowledge yourself for having enriched the lives of others. Spend some time loving yourself for the giving light that you are.

Shakti Gawain

I always celebrate festivals - whether it's Holi or Diwali.

Kartik Aaryan

Diwali means to be in the present, so drop the regrets of the past and the worries of the future and live in the moment. It is a time to forget the bickering and negativities that have happened through the year. It is a time when you throw light on the wisdom you have gained and welcome a new beginning.
