Meghna Naidu: My husband Luis is really excited to celebrate Diwali

The ‘Kaliyon Ka Chaman’ star Meghna Naidu, who is currently in Dubai says she is missing India, her home and family on the occasion of Diwali. However, to keep the vibe alive, she would be recreating the traditional rituals of the festival there. More so, because her Portugese husband is quite excited for the occasion.
The actress says she will have elaborate Diwali puja for her husband, Luis Miguel Reis."Luis actually welcomes and respects our rituals. He is excited to experience Diwali Puja. We will set up the idols and offer our prayers and will use online mantras to bring in a spiritual environment. This Diwali will be special for me as every year my mom used to do things. This time I'll have to do everything on my own, with her guidance" she shares.
She further adds, "For me Diwali is one of the most significant festivals, we also call it as the festival of lights. The festival gets its name from the row (avali) of clay lamps (deepa) that Indians light outside their homes to symbolize the inner light that protects from spiritual darkness. This five-day celebration will include good food, fireworks, rangoli, and special lamps. As I'm not in India this year, I'm going to miss the festivities but I will celebrating here, with my husband."
Meghna who is known for being a part of shows like 'Sasural Simar Ka' and 'Jodha Akbar' revealed her plans for the celebration, "It a day that brings light, joy and happiness to our lives. Celebrations for me will include decorating the home which I have already started, have also got new clothes for us. I don't enjoy bursting crackers, but I will be cooking delicious food that I'll share with my people here. Preparing, enjoying and distributing sweets and snacks among family, friends, neighbours and relatives is one of the Indian culture that has been followed from ancient days."
