Genelia & Riteish's Diwali: Latur traditions unveiled
7 Nov
Summary
- Annual family trip to Riteish's hometown, Latur, for Diwali.
- Festivities include 'pehli anghol' and traditional utna preparation.
- Genelia cherishes Paithani saris and children experiencing both worlds.
Genelia Deshmukh and Riteish Deshmukh have established a heartwarming family tradition centered around their annual Diwali celebrations in Latur, Riteish's hometown. This trip, undertaken with their two sons, Riaan and Rahyl, and extended family, offers the children a chance to reconnect with their heritage.
The festivities commence with the 'pehli anghol,' a ritual bath where family members gather. Preparations for 'utna,' a traditional paste made at home, consume the night. Genelia describes Diwali as a homely affair, enjoying traditional foods and breaking her diet.
Genelia particularly enjoys wearing traditional Maharashtrian Paithani saris during Diwali. She sees this as a way to pass on cultural richness to her children, ensuring traditions are carried forward to the next generation.
She now understands Riteish's notion of experiencing 'the best of both worlds.' Genelia notes that their children benefit from the freedom of rural life, such as playing outdoors, which contrasts with her city upbringing.
