Bollywood Couple Varun Tej and Lavanya Tripathi Celebrate First Diwali with Baby Vaayuv

As of October 20th, 2025, Bollywood actors Varun Tej and Lavanya Tripathi Konidela are celebrating their first Diwali as parents to their baby boy, Vaayuv Tej. The couple, who welcomed their little one earlier this year, are embracing the festivities with renewed joy and meaning.

Lavanya shares that their family traditions remain the same, with the couple first performing puja at their home before heading to Chiranjeevi's, Varun's uncle, for the larger family celebration. However, this year, the arrival of baby Vaayuv has added an extra sparkle to their celebrations. Varun, too, expresses his delight in witnessing his father, Chiranjeevi, dote on the newborn, noting a visible change in his usually calm and distant demeanor.

The family's close-knit bond is a testament to Chiranjeevi's efforts over the years. Varun recalls how, from his school and college days, the cousins would gather at Chiranjeevi's house every Sunday, a tradition that continues even today. Varun credits his uncle for ensuring the family stays connected and doesn't get lost in their busy lives.

As the couple embraces new customs like Lakshmi Puja and Karwa Chauth, introduced by Lavanya, Varun expresses his joy in learning about these festive traditions. Meanwhile, Lavanya revels in the preparations, from decorating the house to making rangolis, though she admits the latter can be tiring. Varun, on the other hand, is content to let the women handle the festivities, focusing instead on spending quality time with his family.
