The couple is really excited to celebrate their first Kali Pujo and Diwali after the wedding. New bahu Rupashree participated in auspicious traditional rituals of the Mallick family. She says, “I am blessed to be a part of this family. Here, all the traditional rituals and customs are followed with full devotion. As the newest member of the family, I took part in some of the rituals including the pratishthan of Goddess Lakshmi. We celebrate Kali Puja with full fervour. This year we have a surprise. We decided to have female Dhakis.” Actor Debjoy’s wife Rupashree is a nutritionist.

Adrija has a scheduled shooting today but she is hopeful to have an early pack-up. “I have to shoot for my show Mou Er Bari. But I am hopeful to have an early pack up. I will spend the evening with my friend and visit the Kali Puja pandal at our residential complex,” says Adrija. The actress roots for cracker-free Diwali. “I have two pets at home. So, I know the adverse effects of crackers on animals. I would request others to think about the innocent animals during Diwali,” adds the actress.

The actor is busy with the shooting of period-drama Rani Rashmoni but he is looking forward to celebrate Diwali. “Festivals aren’t complete without loved ones. The cast and crew of Rani Rashmoni have become my extended family. We all have decided to celebrate Diwali together this year,” says Suman, who is playing Dwarika’s role in the popular show and earning quite some praises from the audience. (Photo: Facebook)

On Diwali, I prefer a cosy celebration with my family and friends. This year, too, I have the same plan,” says the actress. Priya is playing Naira’s character in the popular show ‘Baran’.

The actor is a bit upset as he couldn’t visit his parents in Siliguri during the festival. “I couldn’t visit my parents because of the shooting. They expected me to celebrate Diwali and Chhath Puja with them,” says the actor, who is playing the male lead in ‘Mou Er Bari’. He has planned to celebrate Diwali with friends in Kolkata. “I will celebrate Diwali with friends and have plans to spend the evening with some underprivileged kids. I firmly believe, festivals are the perfect time to share joy with everyone,” he adds.
