  "account": "Indian cricketer Hardik Pandya celebrated Choti Diwali, also known as Naraka Chaturdashi, with his girlfriend Mahieka Sharma and their son Agastya. A video capturing the family's festive moment went viral, showcasing the celebration away from the cricket field. The heartwarming video depicts the family performing a traditional puja at home, with Hardik holding a puja thali and leading the prayers. Young Agastya joined in by folding his hands alongside his father, while Mahieka stood by, actively participating in the devotional ceremony. Choti Diwali marks a day before the main Diwali festival, celebrated with lighting diyas, offering prayers, and honoring the victory of good over evil. This year, Hardik's celebration takes on added significance amid speculation of a potential trade from Mumbai Indians, with rumors of him switching to Punjab Kings while Arshdeep Singh moves in the opposite direction.",
