The vlog then moves to the family sitting together to enjoy the brunch prepared by Parmeet, Aaryamann, and Aayushmann. Joining them at the table is Aaryamann’s fiancée, Yogita Bihani. While they enjoy their meal, Parmeet fondly recalls his Diwali celebrations as a child. He shares that when he was around 9 or 10 years old, he told his parents not to buy him firecrackers and instead give him money for new clothes. He adds that he realised early on there was no need to spend on crackers since everyone could enjoy the same lights and sounds together. (Photo: Instagram)

Aayushmann then shares his most memorable Diwali, which took place in Dehradun when he was around eight years old. He remembers their house beautifully decorated with diyas that lit up the entire space. Smiling, he recalls a funny incident where diyas were also placed around a mango tree near their house. Without noticing, he accidentally sat near the tree, only to realise moments later that he had sat right on the diyas, making it a Diwali memory he’ll never forget. (Photo: Instagram)

After hearing Aayushmann’s story, Aaryamann recalls a similar childhood incident from when he was about five years old. He admits that he was quite a mischievous kid, and despite Archana warning him not to play with firecrackers, he couldn’t resist. While playing with a simple sursuri, some firecracker powder and sparks accidentally fell on his hand, almost setting it on fire. He quickly ran inside, washed his hand in the bathroom, and came out before Archana could scold him. Laughing, he says he managed to escape her just in time. (Photo: Instagram)

As Archana is about to share her favourite Diwali memory, Parmeet quickly interrupts by saying “Dehradun,” leaving everyone in laughter. Amused, Aaryamann teases him by saying, “Toh aapko aapke family se pyaar nahi hai joh aapne abhi banayi hai?” Parmeet jokingly responds, “Isne toh shaadi bhi mujhse property ki lalach mein ki hai.” He then adds with a grin, “1-2 saal meine usko subha uthke proper-tea pilai hai. That’s why she married me.” His joke leaves Archana laughing uncontrollably. (Photo: Instagram)

Archana then shares her favourite Diwali memory, fondly recalling how her entire family would travel to her hometown Dehradun to celebrate the festival. She says she was always in charge of lighting diyas around the house, a tradition she loved. Archana also remembers how her father would take everyone out in their car to drive around the town and admire the beautiful Diwali lights. She smiles as she says those memories will always be close to her heart. (Photo: Instagram)

To make things more fun, the family adds playful challenges like a dance-off in between rounds.
