Having grown up in a multi-cultural home, Aditi Rao Hy-dari celebrates every festival with a heightened sense of enthusiasm and vigour. No matter what the occasion is, the actress takes joy in following simple traditions and rituals that make festivals special.“Be it Christmas, Eid or Diwali, we celebrate every festival at home in a meaningful way. For us,it’s not about grand celebrations or throwing big bashes. Instead, it’s the little things like making diyas with my mother and lighting a lamp to spread joy and happiness. These little things create the magic and vibe of the festive season,” says Aditi.
