Tanishaa Mukerji Shares Her Favorite Diwali Memory; Read More -

Diwali is perhaps the grandest and most anticipated festival, with the entire country coming together to celebrate and anticipate these blessed days for a variety of reasons. From vacations to gatherings to short trips with friends and cousins, Diwali is a time for love and a time for family. Our Bollywood celebrities are no exceptions. Here's what Tanishaa Mukerji has to say about it."Every year, Diwali is like a family reunion for us. There are just family members and close friends. It's just good food and being around the people you love. That's pretty much it. That's the only thing that matters to us. My fondest memory of celebrating Diwali is when our mother used to take us to Lonavala to celebrate, as we used to live in an apartment here. Our house had a garden in Lonavala.""Diwali was fun when you got to celebrate it outdoors, where we got to burst crackers as a kid. Lighting up diyas and flower decorations everywhere, those days used to be fun. I think there is a strong bond of love in our family. Everybody wants to come together and be with each other. For us, that is all that matters. That is what the significance of festivals in India is. It is to bring everybody together, " she added.Tanishaa also shared how she prefers to not indulge in wasteful shopping or unnecessary dressing during Diwali. "I don't always go shopping for a festive wardrobe. I like to reuse and recycle. I always wear something of my mother's and I have always shown pride in trying on new clothes that I have already had before and restyling them. My mom often gifts me a new saree during festivals like Durga Puja and Diwali."
