What Film stars want this Diwali?
Three
multi-starrers are releasing just a day before Diwali and most Bollywood stars
are hoping that their films will hit the jackpot during the festive season.
Also, spending quality time with the family on the festival of lights is
equally high on their wish list.
Anthony D'Souza's 'Blue', Rohit Shetty's 'All
The Best' and Prem Soni's 'Main Aurr Mrs Khanna' will simultaneously hit
screens on Friday and are expected to give tough competition to one another.
Actress Lara
Dutta, who is already creating waves with her svelte figure in underwater
thriller 'Blue', hopes for a "bumper Diwali" with the movie, which is
being touted as India's most expensive till date. "I'm hoping that 'Blue'
does well and my Diwali becomes a bumper Diwali. Diwali is a festival meant to
be celebrated with family, but last year I was shooting in Singapore for 'Do
Knot Disturb'. This year I'll be spending time with my close ones,"
For Bipasha
Basu, who features alongside Ajay Devgn, Fardeen Khan and Mugdha Godse in
the laugh riot 'All The Best', this Diwali will be a huge celebration as it
coincides with her mother's birthday. "My film is releasing on Oct 16 and
my mother's birthday is on the same day. My new house has also been just done
up; so we will celebrate the first Diwali get-together-cum-puja there. I'll eat
a lot of sweets and will say no to the gym on Diwali day,"
Model-turned-actress Mugdha Godse says."I'm going to be in Pune with my family this
year. We are all going to watch 'All The Best' on Oct 16 as I've booked a whole
theatre for them. I hope it does well," "On Diwali day, I'll have
breakfast with my family and then in the evening decorate my place with diyas
and perform Lakshmi poojan.
"Malaika,
who is at present a mentor on Star Plus' show 'Perfect Brides', says that
Diwali is a perfect occasion for a family reunion. "Be it Deepavali, Eid
or Christmas -- every festival that gets our families together is celebrated in
our house with the same fanfare and gusto. For us, it is just an excuse to get
together and celebrate the essence of the festival.
Diwali this year is extra special for
one-film-old actor Rajniesh Duggall as he is going to be a father soon."This
Diwali has bought in great news for me. My wife is expecting and I am thrilled
that I will become a father very soon. I am celebrating the festival with my
in-laws in Delhi this time.
