This Diwali is even more special for us as it is our son Ekbir's first: Addite and Mohit Malik

Diwali is all about celebrating with the family and now after Ekbir, it has become more special,” say Mohit Malik and his wife Addite Shirwaiker Malik, who were blessed with a baby boy on April 27.

The couple has elaborate plans to light diyas, prepare sumptuous dishes and celebrate the five days with family and friends at home. Mohit says, “After Addite’s father passed away a few months back, my mother-in-law moved in with us. That’s the best thing to have happened to us because it is great to have a grandparent play with their grandchild and explain to us all the traditions and rituals during Diwali.”
