/> Sonakshi Sinha: "The one thing that I completely avoided for Diwali is noise pollution. I don't burst crackers for Diwali and definitely discourage family and friends from doing the same.

Urmila Matondkar: "The one thing that I did during Diwali is to gorge on all the yummy sweets without guilt or worry about my figure....And yes, when I see my family around me I thank God for a great life with such a beautiful array of family and friends. The one thing I don't do is noisy pollution-inflicting crackers."

Shabana Azmi: "Oscar Wilde said, everything desirable is immoral illegal or fattening.For Diwali I sought everything desirable."

Asin: "No matter where I am I like to be back near my parents for Diwali. It was no different this year. We decorated the house, prepared traditional mithais, wore new clothes...some traditions refuse to die.

Thank God for that! And the other thing that I must do during Diwali is...gorge on sweets! Diwali is the time when I throw my diet out of the window. I love laddoos and jalebis."
