For singer-anchor Aditya Narayan and his wife Swetha this Diwali is extra-special. “It is our first Diwali with our daughter Tvisha. So it’s a very special occasion. Also, it’s the first time we’re celebrating Diwali in our new home. So two pujas this Diwali: the first one being the traditional big puja in my parent’s home and the second a smaller puja in our new home. Then there is the traditional Diwali dinner my Mom cooks yearly for the entire family. We sat together to enjoy her cooking.”
Before the Diwali celebrations start, there is one thing Aditya had to do. “I had to hit the gym early morning for an intense workout before I consumed all those calories in the evening; thankfully my gym owner is as crazy as I am. So the gym was open on Diwali. Aur uske baad dabaa ke khayenge. Mithais have come from everywhere…And I will binge without any guilt. On Diwali, I don’t restrict my intake of calories. I recommend the same for everyone in the entertainment industry. Yaar, at least let go for one day.”
Aditya also spent some “quantity time” with his father veteran singer Udit Narayan. “Normally Dad and I don’t drink. But Diwali is an exception. Ek ek large bani, and we played cards in the night with friends, that includes mera bachpan ka saathi Adhyayan Suman.”
