As the festival of lights draws near, actress Anuradha Upadhyay, known for her roles in Nimki Mukhiya, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, and her latest music video, shares her heartfelt thoughts on Diwali and what the festival truly means to her.
Speaking about the significance of the occasion, Anuradha said, “Diwali symbolizes a mix of tradition, togetherness, and new beginnings for me. It’s a time to reconnect with family and friends, honor our heritage, and welcome fresh opportunities and experiences. The festival’s themes of light, love, and triumph over darkness resonate deeply.”
While she enjoys both quiet family moments and grand festivities, Anuradha prefers the intimacy of home celebrations. “There’s something special about sharing traditional meals, exchanging gifts, and lighting diyas together,” she expressed. “That said, I also appreciate the energy of larger celebrations and the chance to connect with a broader community.”
For the actress, Diwali’s symbolism of light overcoming darkness has been a guiding force through life’s ups and downs. She reflected, “The festival reminds us that darkness is temporary and light will always prevail. It’s a powerful reminder to stay positive and focused on our goals.”
Anuradha also believes in celebrating the festival responsibly. “I focus on eco-friendly decorations, mindful consumption, and thoughtful gift-giving. I try to reduce waste and use sustainable materials whenever possible. By being mindful of our impact, we can preserve the true spirit of Diwali while respecting our environment,” she shared.
The festival also serves as a time of gratitude and reflection for her. “I’m grateful for the love and support of my family and friends. Their presence makes all the difference. I’m also thankful for opportunities to grow, learn, and make a positive impact in my community.”
Reminiscing about her childhood, Anuradha fondly recalled, “One of my fondest memories is decorating our home with diyas and colorful lights. The excitement of preparing for the festival, the smell of traditional sweets, and spending time with kids — that’s my favorite time.”
