00:00Every year Diwali is very special, because at this time we all meet our friends, the
00:12Dussehra starts, Navratri, from there we have a chance to enjoy the whole femininity.
00:19And there is so much fun in Diwali, so I like it a lot.
00:25Not this year, every year.
00:31Every Diwali, my father used to take me to the Diwali store.
00:37And he used to say, take whatever you want.
00:42So we used to take our favorite fireworks in the whole shop.
00:49And my father used to say, give me three more rounds, whatever we took.
00:55So we didn't play for a day or two, we used to play crackers for 10 days.
01:01Now I have left it completely, because I have furry babies and they have a lot of trouble.
01:08But I enjoy by feeding, eating, celebrating, meeting my friends, going to Diwali parties,
01:19wearing my jewelry, otherwise this jewelry stays in the locker.
01:23So only in this Diwali time, I feel like wearing jewelry, feeling all Indian-ness.
01:35I am Lakshmi, so I do puja only for myself.
01:38Just kidding.
01:40It is not about just the puja, I don't know how to do so much puja.
01:47But I like to give sweets to everyone, call my friends home.
01:54Yesterday also, my friends came to the Diwali party.
02:00I didn't plan anything, just two days ago, I thought,
02:04I have 10-15 friends and I am not going anywhere.
02:09So I thought, let's call everyone here.
02:13And it was a beautiful, my dinner table was not empty for 3 hours.
02:19They were just eating the whole time.
02:23And it was just perfect and beautiful.
02:33No, I have just left the Diwali parties and came back from Hyderabad.
02:39I don't like going to such hectic parties.
02:43Because it is Diwali time, we have to celebrate.
02:47I have gone to some celebrity friends' houses.
02:51But last year and this year, I was so confused.
02:56One day Hyderabad, one day Bombay.
03:00It is still the same.
03:02So I am still confused, where am I from?
03:07But it's nice, a lot of friends from Bombay have really embraced me in this one year.
03:21We don't play so many cards.
03:23Here everyone plays so many cards in the party.
03:27And there is only one food, the decorations are good.
03:34And I don't see much of a difference between Hyderabad and Bombay.
03:40Diwali is a very big festival there.
03:44And I see it's here also.
03:52I eat everything.
03:53I go to the gym just for the sweets.
03:57I don't say one, two, three.
03:59I don't say laddu, phirni, boondi.
04:02I work out just like that, at this time.
04:12I think we should be very conscious.
04:15When we were young, we didn't know how much trouble the environment faces.
04:22You know, in bursting fireworks.
04:26Since I started learning and my awareness has increased,
04:29we don't do those things automatically.
04:34I don't enjoy bursting crackers at all.
04:37Because I said, Lola and Nawab are there.
04:40And wherever there are firecrackers,
04:43they don't listen to us in the same way they listen to dogs.
04:48There is more trouble.
04:50So why give so much trouble?
04:52So, I don't like bursting crackers anymore.
05:00You shouldn't be playing with it.
05:22I am doing a show called Beauty with Lakshmi.
05:31On this Diwali, I wish you all a very happy and a safe Diwali with your loved ones.
