As of October 22nd, 2025, actress Taapsee Pannu reflects on the symbolic meaning of Diwali and how she celebrates the festival with her husband and sister. Pannu sees Diwali as a reminder that good will triumph over evil and that there is light at the end of the tunnel, especially when it comes to the struggles of making female-centric films in the industry.
In recent years, Pannu and her Danish badminton player husband Mathias Boe have made a deliberate effort to celebrate Diwali in India and Christmas in Denmark, ensuring they experience both cultures. As children, Pannu and her sister Shagun used to enjoy activities like painting diyas, making rangolis, and lighting diyas in the evening, often competing over who did the best job. However, one Diwali, the smoke from the crackers they burst became so thick that they could barely see, leading the family to stop the cracker-bursting tradition altogether.
