What people are saying
For me, definitely my daughter.
For me, it’s (the diya) definitely my daughter (Raha Kapoor). It’s her fourth Diwali.
It's her birthday two days before Diwali, which is on the 6th of November, so I hope that she gets a lot of blessings, good vibes and positivity around her.
I want to give a shout-out to everyone who worked on Ramayana, including the assistant directors (AD), the people who worked on my costumes, and everyone who worked hard.
