It's an out-of-town Deepavali for Shraddha Srinath

For Shraddha Srinath, her best Deepavali memories are from her childhood, during her days in

North India

.

“This year, I am shooting in Hyderabad during Deepavali. I get just one day off for the festival, so my entire family is driving down to Hyderabad, so that we can all celebrate together. Since it is an out-of-station Deepavali for us, we won’t be doing what we usually do. So, it will be rest for everyone. My best memories of Deepavali are from when I was a child in North India. The weather would be beautiful and cold, which I love, and we would have family parties, with bonfires and

firecracker

displays. Of course, I don’t burst firecrackers now. Deepavali has become quieter now,” she adds.
