We look forward to Diwali every year, and this is the first time we are celebrating the festival together as one big family,” Motwani shares, including, “I am planning to celebrate it with my friends and family. We always have a Motwani party on Dhanteras, which is an every year ritual. This year, I and Sohael will be hosting our friends. There will be a lot of Diwali parties, and happiness around”.
In truth, she reveals that through the relationship stage too they made positive they took out time from their schedule to be with one another.
“The festival is big in both of our houses. We make sure that we are together on Diwali. Even when we were dating, we made sure we were together on Diwali. That is our own personal ritual which is all about being together and celebrating with family and friends. We make efforts to ensure we are not working on the day, and that has been the case this year as well,” shares the 32-year-old.
Opening up about one other private custom, the actor shares, “Sohael chooses my Diwali outfit, and I get him his outfit. That is our thing. Also, we give each other something. It doesn’t have to be very big, but has to be something special. It is our way of saying ‘I am happy to be with you and I love you’.”
For the competition, she has already decked up her home with “lights, flowers and diya stands”. “I love lights. My house is looking beautiful now,” she exclaims.
This 12 months, the couple shall be balancing the celebration in two households, and they’re pepped about it. “Both the homes could have Diwali pooja. We will handle it, however I’m excited and searching ahead to it
