Talking about how he plans to celebrate Diwali this year, Digvijay added, "I have always celebrated Diwali with my family, and I want to continue this tradition for the rest of my life. We come together to decorate the house with diyas and rangolis, perform pujas, and enjoy a special meal prepared by my mom, often chole bhature. This has become a way for us to bond and reflect on our blessings as we light lamps to dispel darkness and negativity."
The Roadies fame further urged everyone to celebrate an eco-friendly Diwali and requested all to think about animals too. "With growing awareness of the impact of firecrackers on the environment and animals, we can shift our focus to more eco-friendly ways of celebrating, such as lighting earthen lamps, creating rangoli with organic colors, and having small family gatherings. We can also contribute to community drives focused on reducing pollution or supporting animal shelters during this time," he stated.
Rathee concluded by suggesting all that Diwali can also be celebrated in a sustainable way. He urged everyone to plant trees and not to burn crackers.
"I believe we can make Diwali even more meaningful by embracing sustainable practices such as using energy-efficient lighting, planting trees, and giving eco-friendly gifts. Instead of bursting crackers, we can focus on creating shared experiences, like cooking a festive meal together, storytelling, or giving back to the less fortunate through charity work, all while maintaining the spirit of Diwali," he said.
