‘For the longest time, I didn’t understand what my Hinduism meant to me and didn’t feel that I was rewarded for exploring it.
‘Now I am prouder than ever for my roots and identity, and I am so excited at the idea that there is going to be a whole generation of people growing up where seeing women like us in the media will be the norm.’
Diwali is a festival of lights and one of the major festivals celebrated by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and some Buddhists in India.
People celebrate Diwali – which spans over five days and symbolizes the spiritual ‘victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance’ – by lighting little earthen oil lamps to mark the victory of light over darkness.
