Diwali is always a big celebration at the Kapoor household, and this year was no exception. Sonam Kapoor celebrated the festival with a small but intimate Dhanteras Puja on October 18 amidst friends and family. She shared a warm window into the festivities, posting pictures and videos on social media with her husband Anand Ahuja and their three-year-old son, Vayu.
Wearing a beautiful ethnic outfit accompanied by elegant jewellery, Sonam gleamed, while Anand and Vayu attired her in regal off-white kurtas. The photos showed the trio doing puja rituals and enjoying real family moments. Her caption was, “Our hearts (and home) are glowing a little brighter this Diwali. From our little family to yours — wishing you love, laughter & light. Anand, Sonam & Vayu.”
As rumors of her second pregnancy swirled, Sonam also spoke about the Diwali plans of the family. In an interview with Times of India, she shared that they decided on a low-key celebration because of worries over pollution in Mumbai. “Because of the firecrackers and the added pollution, we decided to perform our Dhanteras puja at home and then leave town,” she told. “Since Vayu is little, we’re really careful.
Although she would miss the colorful Diwali gatherings in Mumbai, Sonam delights in showing her son the essence of the festival. “I’ve been telling Vayu why we celebrate Diwali — and festivals like Eid and Christmas as well — so that he can learn about the multiculturalism of India,” she explained.
On the work front, Sonam was most recently seen in the 2023 crime thriller Blind, starring Shome Makhija. The movie was her comeback to the screens after motherhood and starred Purab Kohli, Vinay Pathak, and Lillete Dubey.
