The actress emphasizes lights, family, and sustainability over firecrackers in her festive outlook.
Mona Singh is keeping Diwali low-key — and loud in spirit. The actress, known for her grounded presence, revealed her plans for the festival of lights in an exclusive chat with The Free Press Journal.
For her, Diwali isn’t about the bangs. It’s about the glow. "For me, Diwali is more about the lights, diyas, family gatherings, and the festive spirit than bursting crackers," she said, making a clear stand against firecracker culture.
Her home will be lit with diyas and flowers, not smoke. A small pooja, a few rituals, and plenty of food, especially kaju katli, her favourite mithai, are on the agenda. "Diwali is incomplete without mithai!" she declared, with a smile that says she’s already planning the sweet stash.
Family is central. She’s looking forward to spending time with parents, sharing stories, and enjoying the warmth of togetherness. "It’s a time to reconnect with family, share stories, enjoy good food, and create beautiful memories," she said.
She also noted how modern Diwali has evolved beyond traditional roles. "Everyone comes together to share responsibilities… That makes the celebrations even more meaningful," she added, subtly calling out outdated norms.
Her message to fans? Celebrate with kindness, spread positivity, and keep it green. "Let’s celebrate responsibly and make this Diwali special for everyone!" she signed off, wishing health, happiness, and reasons to smile.
No grand events. No fireworks. Just light, love, and a little sugar. And maybe a nap after the sweets.
This isn’t just a personal preference, it’s a quiet rebellion against the Diwali spectacle. In a year when air quality remains a concern, Mona’s stance lands softly but firmly. Not everyone will follow, but her voice adds weight to a growing movement: Diwali doesn’t need to roar to shine.
