  "account": "The Diwali celebrations of the Bachchan family were marked by a special moment when Aaradhya Bachchan and her cousin Agastya Nanda were seen together, delighting those who closely follow the family. The festive images were shared by Navya Naveli Nanda, who also revealed the fun activities the family participated in. Navya, along with her friends including Ananya Panday, posted pictures on Instagram, with her uncle Abhishek Bachchan and mother Shweta Bachchan seen igniting fuljhadis, or sparklers, in a heartwarming frame. A subsequent photograph captured Agastya and Aaradhya in an arm-in-arm pose, creating a touching moment amidst the festivities. Navya captioned the post, \"Happiest of Diwali's with my very own,\" evoking admiration from followers who expressed their joy at seeing the young cousins together. Some fans even requested a collective photo of all three. However, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's absence from the images sparked curiosity among followers, who questioned her participation in the festivities. Navya Naveli Nanda is the daughter of Shweta Bachchan and businessman Nikhil Nanda, and the granddaughter of the renowned actors Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan. Agastya Nanda, Aaradhya's cousin, is the son of an entrepreneur and began his acting career with the film \"The Archies\". Aaradhya, on the other hand, is the daughter of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and her interests in music were recently highlighted when her father Abhishek Bachchan shared that she took him and their mother to an Ariana Grande concert during a summer holiday abroad.",
