Deepika Padukone has special plans for Diwali – read deets

Deepika Padukone reveals her special plans for Diwali this year. Find out about the same here.

It’s that time of the year we all wait eagerly for. We’re talking about Diwali, yes! The colour of lights and sweets, this festival takes us back to our family after the busy work life gives us a little break. We too are pretty excited for the same (well, not me for I have to work on Diwali). Anyway, so everyone has plans for the weekend that’s gonna consist of a lot of light, festivities and of course, good clothes. Just like us, even actress Deepika Padukone has planned stuff for this Diwali. We hear that DP is heading to Bengaluru to celebrate Diwali with her family members. She says the festival has always been special to them.
“Diwali is the festival of lights, joy and happiness and has always been a very special festival for all of us. So I decided to spend quality time with my family before I immerse myself in ‘Padmavati’,” Deepika said in a statement. Interestingly, the family members’ names also signify light: father Prakash, mother Ujjala and sister Anisha. The meaning of Deepika’s name is also light.
Wow. Now isn’t that super cool? It is sweet that unlike last year when the actress was busy promoting her film, Tamasha, this year she’ll be spending time with her family. As Deepika doesn’t have any upcoming film this year, it has become rather easy for her to keep Diwali free for family. After Diwali, Deepika will soon be starting the shoot for Padmavati, helmed by director Sanjay Leela Bhansali. She has earlier worked in films like Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela and Bajirao Mastani. Padmavati also features actors Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor in key roles.
