Chitrangda Singh Recalls Her Childhood Diwali, Shares About Her Preparation This Year

We believe childhood Diwali is not a sweet memory of Chitrangda Singh but also everyone. Remember when you cleaned the house as a child per your mother’s instruction? Or the time yoy made the baatis for your home’s diya?

The sharing below from Chitrangda Singh on Diwali will help all of us to relive those moments, especially in a year of much loss and difficulties as 2020.

Chitrangda said when she was a kid, she liked bringing on her nariyal laddoos and decorating the house with fairy lights the most. However, she missed attending special parties with her friend in Delhi when she studied college there. The actress shared that she had a lot of friends in the capital who always host card parties during Diwali.

“The game goes on till 5 a.m and by the end of it, everybody is almost losing.” Can you relate?

To prepare for the festival in the past as a kid, Chitrangda Singh had to clean the house, soak diyas in water overnight and put them upside down on papers to dry the lamps in the morning. After that, she and her brother would make the baatis for their diyas with cotton and ghee.

As she used to live in different places across the country, Chitrangda said her most favorite thing when enjoying Diwali in the North was going to the mela. She loved being a part of these Diwali funfairs which she could hardly find in other areas.

Talking about her plan for Diwali in 2020, Chitrangda had bought a lot of diyas from the street vendors. The actress intended to decorate every corner of her house with diyas to bring her childhood memories back to life.
