It’s been my every year’s ritual of bursting crackers, says Pia Bajpiee

Mid Day Online met up with her for an exclusive interview in order to find out what she will be doing for this year's Diwali

Hi Pia! What are your Diwali plans?
My Diwali plans are just like every year’s Diwali. I am going do Laxmi and Ganeshji’s puja which I do every year. Few family friends are going to visit me. I’ll go out with my friends, celebrate Diwali with them and spend some time. As I am not celebrating this Diwali with my family, so friends are my family this year.

Do you believe in gifting or getting gifts during Diwali?
I believe in gifting and getting gifts.

Do you burst firecrackers during the festival or you believe in sound and smoke pollution free Diwali?
I definitely burst fire crackers, I love bursting them. It’s been my every year’s ritual of bursting crackers.

What does Diwali mean to you?
Diwali reminds me of God Ram ji coming back to Ayodhaya. That’s why it’s been celebrated. It’s an auspicious festival where your family gathers and you celebrate with them. Diwali is such a festival where you get a chance to meet your people and celebrate with them. It’s a happy festival for me.

What new and exciting stuff have you planned for Diwali this year?
Every Diwali is a new Diwali and exciting Diwali. Previous year, during Covid, I had lost my brother so we didn’t celebrate Diwali. I’ll do Laxmi Puja at my place and celebrate it with my closed ones.

Your message to our readers for Diwali?
Celebrate with your family and loved ones. Enjoy the most, eat a lot of sweets, burst crackers. Just keep one thing in mind, please be safe and sound.
