Sharing some of her favourite moments from the party, Lilly wrote, "I have zero pictures from the event on my phone. In fact, I don't think I saw many people on their phone, period. Community anywhere is important, but I find more and more we're only experiencing it online. In fact, we only measure moments, behavior and worth by what's online these days. These pictures hold memories that a caption or IG post will never do justice toâ¦and I love that."

"After the party, so many people texted me saying "your family and friends are so warm and welcoming," and that makes me really proud. I've been to one too many events in my life where I walked in and immediately felt awkward. I felt this pressure to put on an act and find acceptance. That's the opposite of what I want this annual event to be. Whether this is your 30th Diwali, or your first, this party will always be about unity, warmth and inclusion. That good, good energy is mandatory," she said.
In a video shared by Adam Ali, Terry Crews and Lilly Singh can be doing an impromptu performance to Vanessa Carlton's 'A Thousand Miles'. Singer Guru Randhawa brought in some desi vibes to the party by giving a lively performance to 'Tenu Suit Suit Karda'.
Singer Tesher was also at the party. He shared pictures and videos from inside the party. In one of the videos, Tesher can be seen playing dandiya with a woman to the beats of 'Rangeelo Maaro Dhol na'.
