Bollywood Star Tanya Maniktala Celebrates Diwali at Home in Delhi

In October 2025, Bollywood actress Tanya Maniktala packed her bags and headed back to her hometown of Delhi to celebrate Diwali with her family. After two years of virtual celebrations due to her sister living in Australia and brothers residing in the USA, Tanya is thrilled to be home for a week.

Tanya's Diwali celebrations revolve around her family's unique tradition of Sahaj Marg meditation, where they all come together to meditate. "That's our puja, our aarti. For us, Diwali is about connection, and this is how we celebrate it," she explains. The 28-year-old actress looks forward to these group meditation sessions, which are open to anyone aged 16 and above.

As for her plans with friends, Tanya reveals they will have a "low-key yet super-chilled celebration." Many of her Delhi-based friends are also returning home, and she can't wait to catch up with them. Tanya's Diwali celebrations are centered around comfort and food, with her favorite being her "chachiji's makkhan malai," which she says "nothing beats Dilli ka and ghar ka khaana!"
