However, she reveals the emotional void she feels during Diwali due to the absence of her father. While the festivities create a warm ambiance, Supriya fondly recalls the memories shared with her father during Diwali and throughout the year.
“Despite all the joy and celebrations, there's a void in my heart every Diwali as I dearly miss my father. His absence is a vacuum that's impossible to fill, but I cherish the lovely memories we shared during Diwali and throughout the year,” says Supriya Khan.
In terms of celebrating Diwali, Supriya has a unique perspective. While she appreciates eco-friendly Diwali initiatives, she personally associates Diwali with the joy of firecrackers, especially on Laxmi Pujan.
