Alia Bhatt gets emotional celebrating last Diwali at home Raha was born

This Diwali is extra special for Alia Bhatt as she celebrates her last one at Vaastu before moving into a new home. The actress opens up about cherishing the festival with Ranbir and Raha. She reveals how she and Raha will make rangoli outside their home while the little one enjoys laddoos and runs around the house in excitement.

In an exclusive chat with Bombay Times, she shares, “Yesterday we did DIY diya painting because she loves to paint. This morning, we’re making rangoli together. Last year, it was a phoolon ki rangoli because she was small, and I was concerned she might put the colours in her eye. So, I’m going to attempt a full-on rangoli, which we’ll do outside our home.”

This year’s Diwali also marks a special milestone as Alia Bhatt prepares to move into a new home with Ranbir Kapoor and their daughter Raha. “This is our last Diwali in the home that she was born in, so it’s actually a really emotional time. But it’s also very exciting because I know she might not remember this specific Diwali, but the years of memories will build up and leave a feeling in her. And Diwali is all about feelings — it should feel warm and full of light,” she says.

Ask her how she feels, and she replies, “It’s been many years in the making, and honestly, the feeling is just very overwhelming. I feel truly blessed to have this chapter in life. We’re in the middle of the moving-in chaos, but my heart is full. It’s a big dream coming together. The feeling is so large that I think it’ll only really hit us months or maybe a year after we move in.”

Alia also spilled the beans on her Diwali plans and shared, “Through the puja, Raha will be eating laddoos and running around! The rest I keep simple… I keep talking about this balcony a lot — where we’ve had so many evenings, where we got married, and where we’ve spent so many Diwalis with just a close group of friends. So this time, we’re going to be doing exactly that again. I’m cranking it up a notch.

This year, I’m going all out because it’s our last Diwali at home. The food menu is filled with all our favourites and Diwali specials. We have certain items on the menu that are very Vaastu-specific — things we’ve eaten over the years.”
