In our conversation, as we were discussing the times when either he or his father had to pick work over celebrating the festival, Aarya Babbar said, “No, I don't think papa or any one of us has ever picked up work during Diwali. None of us has ever picked up work during Diwali, I think that's what the tradition is, you know, my mom and papa, I think, in all of us, that Diwali is a festival where everyone will see to it that they are together.”
He further highlighted how the industry understands the importance of Diwali. “Even our industry, our film industry, respects Diwali, and I am not commenting about any other festival, but Diwali is given a level of importance and respect,” he said.

As aforementioned, Aarya also shared what Diwali looks like at his house. He mentioned it's all things simple and traditional, and said, “There’s pooja in the house, performed by our family pandit, everyone wears new colorful ethnic clothes and compliments one another.”
“There’s a lot of fun, we joke around, burst a few crackers, but only a few, not adding to the noise pollution. We try to keep it eco-friendly. And of course there are sweets, people come over and it's good fun,” the ‘Ready’ actor concluded.
