Actress Mourns Grandmother's Loss, Diwali Celebrations Dampened

For Aneri Vajani, the Nisha Aur Uske Cousins and Anupamaa actress, this Diwali season is not the same as it used to be. Just last month, Aneri lost her beloved grandmother, and the festive celebrations now feel bittersweet without her. Aneri had also lost her grandfather two years ago, and her fondest Diwali memories were of celebrating the festival with her grandparents.

Aneri is a very family-oriented person, and the festive season has always been about spending quality time with her loved ones. The celebrations start from Ganeshotsav and continue through Navratri, Diwali, and Bestu Varas. However, this year, Aneri will not be hosting any Diwali parties at her home, as she is still grieving the loss of her grandmother. She may go out for lunch and dinner with her parents, but the festivities just won't feel the same.

Aneri's grandmother used to play a special role in their Diwali celebrations. She would make sweets for the family, including Aneri's favorite magaj no laddoo. The grandmother would also dress up beautifully in saris and ensure that the entire family wore new clothes for Diwali and Bestu Varas. With her passing, a cherished part of Aneri's Diwali traditions has been lost, leaving the actress to find a new way to celebrate the festival this year.
