Amitabh Bachchan says his Diwali was quieter, with fewer firecrackers

Amitabh Bachchan marked Diwali with a quiet celebration at home, saying there were fewer firecrackers and less noise.

In a blog post, the actor described the atmosphere as peaceful and wished people happiness and prosperity.

He also greeted fans outside his Mumbai home, continuing his long-running Sunday tradition.

This time he appeared without the protective bulletproof enclosure used at his previous appearance, after a threatening email had raised security concerns.

Bachchan said hand discomfort is delaying his replies to fans who sent him greetings and gifts.

New episodes of Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 are due to resume streaming on November 16 after a pause linked to scheduling conflicts.

A simple Diwali has been celebrated; fewer firecrackers have been fired; the roads are open, and there is less noise; the atmosphere is somewhat peaceful and deep; this should weigh on all of us; may there be happiness and prosperity, and may there be a lot of celebration of happiness every time.
