Whether it's Eid, Durgapuja or Christmas, people always are keen on knowing how their favourite Bollywood stars are going to enjoy the festivals. Thus, we tried to explore Adah Sharma's Diwali day out.

This Diwali, while people will be enjoying their patakhe and puja, their favourite star Adah Sharma will be busy with her shooting schedule. "On Diwali I won't be here." Adah says, "I will be going for 2 days to the Malavali Vedanta Ashram." She further adds, "I'm leaving on the 1st of Nov. for a month and a half to London to shoot for my next film Phhir...".

How sad! But that's the way she likes to spend the fest-times. It's especially because she doesn't like people going crazy about crackers and sounds forgetting the pollution in and around their localities. "It deeply pains me to see people enjoying Diwali at the expense of nature, " Adah expresses her concern.

"I personally do not like to unnecessarily torture the environment since it has been very kind to me, " Adah explains it further, "I have never burnt/burst crackers as I don't like to contribute to sound and air pollution."

That's really appreciable. As it obviously reflects the concern Adah has for nature and natural contribution that we enjoy in our daily life. But the star doesn't stop with the nature.

"I'm also aware that the children who are roped in to make these crackers in factories are very young (6 to 8 yrs) and by the time they are 14 their fingers get eaten up and they are unable to even hold a pen to write, " Adah widens the area of her concern.

An artist is always more applauded with the ability they show in observing their surroundings. And Adah proves her best at it. "I have seen stray dogs and other street animals who get petrified with the sound of crackers, " Adah explains, "They don't have homes like we do to hide in."

There is always a phase in every fest-time where people mostly enjoy in spending money in buying something for their near and dear ones. Does Adah also enjoy that particular phase?

"I've already done my Diwali shopping this year, " Adah smiles on, "I've got myself a huuuuuge box of oil paints and water-colours." But the market is not showing up its feasibility since the drop in share market. "I'm not a big shopper anyway so the markets haven't affected me much, " explains Adah.

If not celebration in the way of patakha or shopping then there has to be some other way out where Adah enjoys the diwali season the most. Adah smiles on that.

"My mum makes candles and diyaas at home. Coloured and scented ones as well. My dad will be making dinner for us (mum and me) a day before Diwali, " she reflects the nostalgic family fragrance that people do miss sometimes. And what's for the innumerable fans? "I know all this sounds very morbid but I would like to tell everyone to have a very happy Diwali but try to be environment friendly this year, " signs off the concerned Adah.
