Mumbai: Actor Puru Chhibber spoke about his Diwali traditions, cherished family memories and the importance of celebrating the festival responsibly. For the actor, Diwali had always been synonymous with spending quality time with loved ones, and he revealed that this aspect of the festival had remained unchanged over the years. Looking back at his celebrations, Puru shared how becoming a father had added another special dimension to the festivities.
Talking about whether the meaning of Diwali had changed for him over the years, Puru said, “For me, Diwali was always about celebrating with family, and I don’t think that has changed at all. That has always been the most important part of the festival for me. So, if I had to sum up Diwali in one word, it would be family.”
Sharing his celebration plans, he added, “I celebrated Diwali with my family at home and spent time with close friends. I think that is the best way to celebrate the festival. Being surrounded by your loved ones and enjoying those special moments together is what makes the occasion meaningful.”
Speaking about balancing professional commitments with festive celebrations, the actor said, “I think we usually got time off during Diwali because everyone was celebrating the festival. So, there generally wasn’t much of a problem balancing work and celebrations. It gave us an opportunity to spend time with our families and enjoy the festivities.”
Recalling his most memorable Diwali, Puru shared, “I think last year’s Diwali was the most memorable one for me because it was my son’s first Diwali. He was born the year before, so celebrating the festival with him for the first time was very special. It was a completely different experience, and that made the occasion even more memorable for me.”
Concluding with a message for his fans, Puru said, “I wanted everyone to be nice and kind to people and animals. Especially during Diwali, I urged people not to burst crackers because they weren’t good for animals. We should be mindful of the environment and the creatures around us while celebrating. Above everything else, my message was simple: be safe, be nice and be kind.”
