Ekavali Khanna likes Diwali amid nature

The festival of lights does not only brighten your homes and the streets but also illuminates your souls. Revellers, especially celebrities, come forward with a lot of social causes to spread smiles among everyone during Diwali. For actress Ekavali Khanna, seeking peace amid the Diwali din is of prime importance. Besides, she thinks environment also needs more attention during Diwali."For me, a true festival is one that is celebrated by being with nature and in the company of loved ones. So, for the last two years, I go to the sea or up the hills with my sons on Diwali. Being with nature offers much more than what one is seeking. My boys are very protective of the environment so there is no question of bursting crackers. A little Diwali ki mithai is, of course, something we indulge in and share them with everyone around us," she said.
The actress, who has been doing interesting and unconventional roles in nationally and internationally-acclaimed films, has quite an offbeat approach towards celebrating any occasion for that matter. Sparing a thought for the downtrodden and not overindulging during this time of excesses is what she believes in. Her social media post on Dhanteras read, 'Dhanteras for me is not about buying things for the house or any other ritual.. For me it is simple,It's a festival so I have worn a saree and will organise a special meal for my family and my staff I like it simple... Praying for peace and a good life for one and all P.s In my opinion the last thing we need to do is hoard more things..my saree for those who may like it, is 6years old (sic)'.
