Anupamaa Star Rupali Ganguly Says She Prefers Diyas Over Loud Crackers During Diwali: 'Why Should It Become A Festival Of Noise?' - FPJ EXCLUSIVE

Anupamaa actress Rupali Ganguly shared her Diwali traditions and preferences in an exclusive interview with The Free Press Journal. She enjoys shopping for kandeels, diyas, and rangoli colours at Mahim's Kandeel Galli, and cherishes family time, making rangoli, and enjoying a meal together. For her, Diwali is about connecting to her roots and passing on traditions to the next generation.

Ganguly has a cherished memory of her son Rudransh's first Diwali, and fondly remembers her own childhood experiences of making farali, drawing rangolis, and sneaking into the kitchen for karanjis and shankarpada. When asked about her favorite mithai, she admitted to being a foodie and particularly loves traditional Indian sweets during Diwali.

Ganguly is against bursting loud crackers and prefers lighting diyas and rangoli. She wishes her fans to spread light beyond just decorating homes, and support local artisans, share with the less fortunate, and be mindful of animals and birds during the festival.
