Sachin Pilgaonkar as Jagdish Gurav in City of Dreams, “Diwali is about reliving moments of joy, treasuring the people who make our lives meaningful. City of Dreams is a show that embodies dreams, ambition, and resilience, just like Diwali reminds us to seek the light that sparks our souls. May you find happiness in cherished moments with those you love. Wishing you a Diwali filled with warmth, joy, and unforgettable memories!”
Bhuvan Bam as Vasya in Taaza Khabar, “With Taaza Khabar, we journey into dreams, surprises, and second chances – a theme that resonates with Diwali’s promise of renewal. As you light up your homes, may you find new beginnings and unexpected blessings. This season, let’s celebrate the beauty of life’s unpredictability and toast to all that awaits. Wishing you and your loved ones a Diwali filled with endless light and laughter!”
Sharad Kelkar, the voice of Ravan in The Legend of Hanuman S05, “For me, a festival like Diwali is a timely reminder about how goodness has the final say over evilness and by giving my voice for a layered character like Ravan in Disney+ Hotstar’s Legend of Hanuman has made me realize the virtues of Ram where he can strive to any lengths to show his goodness and stand by it. Celebrating Diwali is all about spending quality time with my wonderful family and intimate friends circle, relishing homemade ‘pakawn’, ‘desi ghee ke laddoo’ and ‘puran poli’ followed by a small ‘pooja’ at home where we all gather and pray and this year also it is going to be the same where we will have gratitude in our hearts and minds for whatever good has happened and the goodness the future holds for us. I would like to wish everyone a Happy Diwali where we can lighten our lives and others’ lives as well with optimism and hope.”
Gurmeet Choudhary as Karan Saxena in Commander Karan Saxena, “With my fauji background, values of patriotism and discipline have been my guiding lights. In Commander Karan Saxena, these values come to life, and it feels deeply personal as audiences embrace this journey on Disney+ Hotstar. This year, Diwali’s spirit feels even more special, reminding us of bravery, duty, and the strength we find in each other. May this Diwali bring you pride, joy, and resilience. Wishing you all a Diwali as bright and inspiring as the story of Commander Karan Saxena.”
