Aahana Kumra

I usually send everybody a cute gift case, which is assorted; some eatables with diyas and fuljhadis. I personally love ladoos and prefer giving them to everybody. I think that’s the most festive thing to eat.

Low-key affair

Soha Ali Khan

I am giving some gifts to a few of Inaaya’s close friends — a book and a wooden toy. Diwali will be very low-key this year due to the pandemic. We will be making things at home with our daughter — origami flowers, lanterns, hand-painted cards and more.

Positive note

Mahie Gill

Since social distancing is the norm, I am going to send lot of hugs, love, happiness and positivity to my close ones. That’s the need of the hour.

Changed package

Nimrat Kaur

This Diwali, I am going to gift, mithai, dry fruits… and because this year is different, reusable masks and sanitisers will also form a part of the package.

Heartfelt prayers

Gurmeet Choudhary

During this pandemic, we’ve all realised that materialistic things don’t really matter. So, my gift to everyone this time would be lots of prayers and blessings that they remain safe, and we soon get rid of this virus.

Light it up

Aditi Govitrikar

I generally gift clothes to my loved ones. We go shopping together and usually pick Indian clothes. This time too, I am trying to be as normal as possible. So, I will be making sweets, lighting diyas and so on.

Helping hand

Zareen Khan

This Diwali, I would love to help the people who have suffered due to this pandemic. Every year people celebrate Diwali by playing cards and having a feast at their homes. This year, I would like my loved ones to help the people in need.

Family man

Sanjay Suri

Diwali is a time to be with family like always. Blessings and wishes for my loved ones, and meditation is how I usually spend my Diwali. It is amavasya night and I find great peace while meditating. When it comes to gifting, there is no hard and fast rule… It should be something that my folks can use.

Swing along

Mugdha Godse

Gifts are always something personal and bring happiness to both parties… I gifted my parents a beautiful garden swing for the amazing weather in Pune. I hope they enjoy their morning and evening tea on the swing.

Back to the basics

Anaya Shah

All those lights are so soothing; the whole vibe of Diwali is different. And the favourite part is gifting. This time, I guess the best thing to give to your loved ones is your time. The pandemic has brought us back to the basics.
