With Diwali just around the corner, what are your plans?
“I have been brought up in a cosmopolitan environment so I celebrate all the festivals and I request my fans to celebrate eco-friendly Diwali. One shouldn’t burn crackers as we are already facing a pollution problem. So, if we can’t solve the problem we should not increase it. One must celebrate Diwali peacefully spending time with family, dressing up nicely and splurging on delicious delicacies.”
“I wish all my viewers to continue showering their love towards my show ‘Kavya’ and have a safe cracker free Diwali.”
