Celebrating it together for the first time feels emotional and exciting. Planning everything from outfits to décor, sweets, and pooja makes it even more memorable. It’s the start of new traditions as husband and wife, and I am truly looking forward to it.”
Diwali shopping fun: Navneet steals the spotlight
Sakshi recalls some adorable Diwali moments with Navneet and said, “Surprisingly, my husband was way more excited about Diwali shopping than I was! He picked up diyas, lights, sweets — basically everything he could find. At one point, I thought, “Okay, I think we have enough lanterns for three Diwalis!” It was really cute to see him so involved. This first Diwali together feels extra special because we are both equally invested in making our home festive.
Childhood memories light up Sakshi Agarwal’s festive spirit
Reflecting on her childhood, Sakshi Agarwal fondly shares her favorite Diwali memories. “My favorite Diwali memories are from my childhood mornings — waking up early, taking an oil bath, wearing new clothes, and bursting crackers with cousins.

Cinema and Diwali: Sakshi Agarwal opens up on the long connect
The ‘Kaala’ actress also comments on the growing role of movies in modern Diwali celebrations. She notes that “Watching a big Diwali release has become a tradition for many families.

It shows how closely connected cinema and festivals are in India”.
The newlywed actress spreads happiness this Diwali
For her personal Diwali plans, the ‘Viswasam’ actress says that “This year, we’re keeping it cozy yet festive, doing the pooja together, spending time with family, and lighting up the house.

I believe spreading happiness is the real sparkle of Diwali,” concluded Sakshi Agarwal as she prepares to relish her Thala Diwali. Go to Source
