Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], October 19 (HBTV): Actor Amrita Rao has expressed her support for eco-friendly Diwali celebrations while sharing her plans for the festival with her husband, RJ Anmol.
Speaking to ANI, Amrita said that this marks their 16th Diwali together. ‘No sound pollution, no noise pollution. We only light diyas. I like to start my day by visiting a temple, getting ready in good clothes, and a lot of jewellery,’ she shared.
RJ Anmol, speaking about their family celebrations, added, ‘We celebrate Diwali in the same way as it is originally meant to be. We don’t burst crackers. Sweets are prepared at our home in a traditional manner, and we also light diyas with ghee or oil. We try to follow the same tradition as it might have been followed when Lord Ram came back home.’
With Diwali approaching, the couple has expressed enthusiasm about celebrating the festival together. Amrita and Anmol publicly tied the knot in 2016, though they were privately married in 2014. They are parents to a son named Veer.
On the professional front, Amrita was last seen in Jolly LLB 3, starring Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi. She was also part of the first Jolly LLB film released in 2013.
The five-day Diwali festivities began with Dhanteras on Saturday, a day dedicated to worshipping Siddhi Vinayak (Lord Ganesha), Goddess Mahalakshmi, and Kuber, the God of wealth and prosperity. This year, Diwali will be celebrated on the intervening night of October 20 and 21.
