What do Sara Ali Khan’s Diwali celebrations look like?
In a past chat with Bombay Times, the ‘Zara Hatke Zara Bachke’ actress shared, “It begins with spending as much time as I can with my mother (Amrita Singh) and my brother (Ibrahim). Mom and I enjoy decorating our house, we make rangolis, light the house with diyas and do Lakshmi puja. Then, I head to my father’s (Saif Ali Khan)home. I have two lovely homes, and it is important to celebrate, love and brighten them both.”
