After a rollercoaster of a year, we find ourselves in the final stretch, celebrating the most vibrant of all festivals - Diwali. The festival means different things to different people, but one common thread is the joyful memories it leaves behind, energizing us for the year ahead.

"For me, a festival like Diwali is a timely reminder that goodness ultimately prevails over evil. Giving my voice to a layered character like Ravan in 'The Legend of Hanuman' has deepened my appreciation for Ram's virtues - how he goes to any lengths to uphold goodness. Celebrating Diwali is about spending quality time with my wonderful family and close circle of friends."
He added, "Relishing homemade treats like âpakwan,' âdesi ghee ke laddoo,' and âpuran poli,' followed by a small âpooja' at home where we gather and pray, will be our tradition again this year. We'll reflect with gratitude for the good things that have come our way and for the goodness that the future holds. I wish everyone a Happy Diwali filled with light, optimism, and hope, so we can brighten our lives and the lives of others."
