Sony SAB artists share their exciting Diwali plans with their onscreen families

Mumbai, Oct 25 (UNI) Diwali, the festival of lights, is all about togetherness, joy, and celebration.
This year, Sony SAB’s beloved artists are spreading festive cheer not just through their shows, but on the sets as well. Given their busy shooting schedules, these actors enjoy Diwali with their co-stars and crew, making sure the spirit of the festival is felt by everyone.
Aakash Ahuja, who plays the role of Rajat Khanna in Badall Pe Paon Hai, said, “Diwali is such a special time, but as actors, we often must work through the festivals to ensure timely delivery of our episodes. While the team does an amazing job of managing our schedules, we make the most of our time spent with our co-actors and make it a point to enjoy the festivities on the set itself.”
“Since we spend so much time shooting, we become like a family, so of course, we will have a small celebration on set this year as well. But irrespective of where I am, whether I am shooting or at home, I always make the most of the festive spirit,” he said.
Prachi Bansal, who plays Sita in Shrimad Ramayan, said, "I have always celebrated Diwali with my family but this time it is going to be the first time that I won’t get a chance to celebrate the festival with them. However, I am truly blessed as this year, as I am going to celebrate the festival in Ayodhya along with my co-actors Sujay Reu who plays Lord Ram, and Basant Bhatt who plays Laxman. It’s an honour for us to be a part of a grand celebration at Ayodhya. Even though I’m away from my family this year, the spirit of togetherness remains strong among us."
Basant Bhatt, who plays Laxman in Shrimad Ramayan, said, "Diwali is all about togetherness, and that’s exactly what I feel when I’m on set. Working with my co-actors and crew, we’ve become like a family. Whether it’s sharing a laugh or tackling a challenging scene, every day feels special. Even though I’m away from home shooting at Umbergaon, the joy of being part of such a close-knit team makes it feel like we are celebrating Diwali together, every day.”

Sujay Reu, who portrays Lord Ram in Shrimad Ramayan, said, "As actors, we often miss celebrating festivals with our families, especially during outdoor shoots. But the set becomes like a second family, and we all celebrate together. This Diwali is extra special for me because I’m playing Shri Ram and will be visiting Ayodhya.
“While I’m away from home, the warmth and joy of my on-set family makes this experience unforgettable. This year, we are celebrating Diwali in Ayodhya with the devotees. Every year, they do a grand celebration on Diwali and it will be our honour to be present at this celebration. This will be an experience I will cherish forever,” Sujay said.
Amandeep Sidhu, who plays Baani in Badall Pe Paon Hai, said: "I love celebrating festivals on set with my co-stars, exchanging small gifts, chocolates, and sweets with the crew, especially those who are away from their families. It’s important to me that everyone feels at home and part of the celebration, especially around Diwali, no matter where they are."
