Diwali 2022: From Saif Ali Khan to Janhvi Kapoor here’s what Bollywood stars have planned for the festival

Sanjay Leela Bhansali: “The film industry lost its brightest light this year. With Latabai gone just a few months ago, Diwali doesn’t seem festive this year.”

Diwali 2022: From Saif Ali Khan to Janhvi Kapoor here’s what Bollywood stars have planned for the festival

Saif Ali Khan: “A small puja with the family at home, and there is a dinner on 23 October with the Kapoors and Khans, my wife Kareena’s family and my family.”

Janhvi Kapoor: “It’s a working Diwali for me. I am prepping in cricket training, promoting my film Mili, and shooting.”

Taapsee Pannu: “I am spending Diwali with my family here in Mumbai this time. So it’s time for rangolis, deeyas, prayers and a full-on feast at home.”

Hema Malini: “Diwali is always with the family for me. I wish everyone would do the same. Be home with the family and keep the country safe from crime at least for one day devoted to light and happiness.”

Neil Nitin Mukesh: “I am in Kanpur with the whole family to celebrate Diwali with my sister Neha. It is my daughter Nurvi’s first Diwali in Kanpur, so extra-special.”

Urmila Matondkar: “I absolutely love the Festival of Lights. Love it more for lights, diyaas and sweets not as much for the noisy crackers. Hopefully people will consider their surroundings, environment, etc. and use crackers sensibly.”

Swara Bhaskar: “Since there has been a death in the family, there will be no celebration at home. I may attend my friend Sonam Kapoor Ahuja’s Diwali party.”

Shatrughan Sinha: “The last two years have not been kind to any of us. Celebration toh dur ki baad, logon ko khana khane ke liye paise nahin (forget celebration, people didn’t even money for meals). Now things are relatively normal, so this is the first normal Diwali in three years. So be happy and enjoy. For us Diwali is family time. Puja at home with my twin sons and the two Laxmi Devis in my life, my daughter and my wife.”

Asha Parekh: “Diwali used to be a time for get-togethers and festivity. Now especially after Covid, it’s all gone. For me it is very quiet Diwali this year with maybe just a dinner with close friends. Let’s be kind towards pets and no burst crackers.”

Pooja Bhatt: “I have cats and dogs at home that shiver and cower and hide under the bed as the firecrackers start during Diwali. It is heart-breaking to see them that way. I feel helpless. I can’t do anything to ease their agony except wait for the noise to end.”

Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana has managed to thrive as he makes his choices on picking versatile scripts. Looking at his line-up, he is sure to continue to mould into one of the most experimental actors. While fans have to wait for his forthcoming film, the actor has recently delivered Doctor G on the silver screen. Before the release of the film, in a fun conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Ayushmann talked about it extensively.

Interestingly, we asked Ayushmann if he were to get treated by one doctor from the movies, who it would be. In the options, we gave him Kareena Kapoor from 3 Idiots, Sonali Bendre from Kal Ho Naa Ho, or Preity Zinta from Salaam Namaste. In his quick response to the rapid-fire question, he said, “Salaam Namaste is a very nice film. I really liked it,” while flashing a smile on his face. 

While picking Preity Zinta over the other actresses given in the option, Khurrana elaborated that he had a “huge crush” on Zinta when he was in school. 

Coming to the Anubhuto Kashyap directorial, Doctor G released in theatres on October 14, 2022. Along with Khurrana, the comedy-drama also stars Rakul Preet Singh and Shefali Shah in the lead. It revolves around a medical student, who gets admission to the gynaecology department. The film subtly touches on the stereotypes and struggles of a male gynaecologist. 

On the other hand, Khurrana has a bunch of projects in his kitty, including the sequel of Dream Girl. Interestingly, Ananya Panday will be headlining the sequel. For the unversed, Nushrratt Bharuccha had played the leading lady in the first instalment.

Jaya Bachchan shows strong feelings towards mediapersons; says, “I’m disgusted with such people”

Navya Naveli Nanda may have loved to stay away from films, but that doesn’t mean that the star kid decided to stay away from entertainment altogether. She has recently kicked off a podcast What The Hell Navya which features the three generations of Bachchan ladies which includes Jaya Bachchan and her daughter Shweta Bachchan. From professional to personal, the three ladies discuss a wide range of topics and during the recent podcast, Jaya had a strong opinion on entertainment media and how much she hates it.

During the podcast, Jaya Bachchan expressed her displeasure towards media and its coverage stating that they sell products by interfering with people’s private spaces. She said, “I hate it. I despise it. I despise the people who interfere in your personal life and fill their stomachs by selling those products. I hate it, I’m disgusted with such people. I always tell them, I say, ‘Aapko sharam nahi aati hai?’ (Don’t you feel ashamed).”

Furthermore, she said, “I feel very strongly and it’s not that it’s today, I felt it from day one. I don’t mind if you talk about my work. You say, ‘She’s a bad actor and she has done this film badly, she’s not looking nice, because it’s a visual media, don’t mind. But the rest I do mind. Because people who see they see it for a second and then move on. They’re onto something else.”

Earlier this week, netizens slammed Jaya Bachchan after she said to one of the cameramen from the paparazzi team, ‘hope you fall’. While covering her and Navya’s entrance at the Lakme Fashion Week, one of the media personnel tumbled and the actress said, “serves you right”. Her attitude garnered a massive negative reaction from social media users, who trolled her for being a snob and being insensitive to the cameramen.
