Diwali this year will not be the same as always due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t reflect and revisit all the fun we used to have during festival season. So today, let’s take a look at some of the biggest Diwali holidays that celebrities put on.
Amitabh Bachchan and family
Amitabh Bachchan and his family are known for throwing the most luxurious Diwali parties. Last year, all the biggest stars arrived for the celebrations in the most impressive holiday outfit. There were Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri, Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, Shahid Kapoor and Mira Rajput, Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna, Katrina Kaif and many others.
However, there was also a mishap at last year’s party when Aishwarya Rai’s manager Archana Sadanand burned her hand when her dress caught fire. Shah Rukh and Aishwarya were reported to have assisted Archana by putting out the fire in time before further damage could be done.
This year, however, the family is not hosting a big celebration due to the coronavirus pandemic. According to a report by Mumbai Mirror, they are also not hosting a party due to the deaths in the family.
Karan johar
Last year, Karan brought together Bollywood’s youngest stars such as Sara Ali Khan, Janhvi Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Kartik Aaryan and others for a special Diwali photoshoot. Everyone dressed in the most beautiful pink and yellow outfits for the photos.
This year, Karan decided to have a much smaller and cozy party with just a handful of friends. Over the last weekend, he invited Kareena Kapoor, Malaika Arora, Maheep Kapoor, and Manish Malhotra to the party.
Shahrukh khan
Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri hosted a Bollywood party in 2018. The interior designer decked out their home, Mannat, with hundreds of lamps and posed for photos with Shah Rukh and their children, Suhana and AbRam.
Alia Bhatt, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sonakshi Sinha, Jacqueline Fernandez, Kajol and many others had joined the party in their sparkling holiday outfits. Kajol had even shared an adorable photo with Shah Rukh, giving her a big hug, which went viral.
Manish Malhotra
Fashion designer Manish Malhotra’s parties are usually the most welcoming. Last year, Shilpa Shetty, Tahira Kashyap, Karan Johar, Nushrat Bharucha, Pooja Hegde had joined the party.
Manish kept his guests entertained as they celebrated with food and drink and played cards. All of the stars posed for photos and also clicked selfies together. In a video, Sophie Choudry wished her fans ‘Happy Diwali’ and called Nushrat a ‘great looteri and a great card player’. Sophie also shared a video of Nushrat enjoying her dinner and also called her ‘kulcha chor’. Another video showed Manish speaking Punjabi while playing cards. “Kinna sochdi payin hai (how much you need to think)”, he said as his guests laughed.
Ekta Kapoor
Ekta Kapoor is the one who throws the biggest parties for her friends in the TV industry. While he wasn’t able to throw a party as big as he hoped this year, he did call some friends for a gathering Thursday night. Ekta celebrated Diwali with Mouni Roy, Hina Khan, Mrunal Thakur, Anita Hassanandani, Urvashi Dholakia, Sanaya Irani, and many other TV stars.
Anand pandit
Veteran film producer Anand Pandit has also hosted big Diwali parties with movie stars in recent years. His 2019 party was attended by Kartik, Bipasha Basu, Niel Nitin Mukesh, Jeetendra and Ajay Devgn. This year there may not be big celebrations due to the pandemic.
