Be it Holi, Diwali or Makar Sankranti - the film fraterntiy makes it a point to wish its fans on every occasion. For Sankranti and Pongal, they told fans to enjoy the harvest festival by gorging on gur (jagery) and flying kites.

"One of my favorite festivals as a child! Loved flying kites atop rooftops watching the vibrant colors in the sky. Freedom!" Dia Mirza posted on micro-blogging site Twitter Friday.

"Holding a kite and setting it free, watching it become a part of the wind and dance upwards up up up in the sky!" she added.

Bollywood actor Ritiesh Deshmukh and director Madhur Bhandarkar wished the fans in a more traditional lingo.
