I am the sous-chef for faral prep this time: Dnyanada Ramtirthkar

The festive spirit is at its peak and it's probably time to prepare some more faral at home. At least that's the case with Thipkyanchi Rangoli actress Dnyanada Ramtirthkar who tells us, "The first batch of faral that my mother prepared is almost over. Now that I am home, I am helping with the second batch. I am the sous-chef to my mom in this whole process!" Dnyanada also adds that while Diwali is the best time to enjoy the festive food, faral invariably is had post the festival too, something she doesn't mind at all. She shares, "The atmosphere during Diwali in general is very beautiful. There's an exchange of cultures, food and experiences and I love it."

Dnyanada's Diwali to-do list:
- Eat faral
- Light diyas
- Dress up in traditional wear
- Meeting friends and family
