"Wishing you all a very Happy Diwali."
Diwali is one of the most prominent festivals celebrated throughout the world.
It marks the power of light and the triumph of good over evil.
Every year, people adorn their houses with candles and crack fireworks, displaying love and affection as the sky above them bursts with flashes of red, green and yellow.
Bollywood stars are no exception to the power of light.
Many took to their Instagram profiles to share their wonderful clothing and bonds of love and brightness.

The actress wrote: “Year after year and still trying to get the perfect family picture… But nonetheless… Happy Diwali lovely people… from our heart to yours.”
Megastar Sanjay Dutt celebrated Diwali with his wife Manyaata and their children Shahraan and Iqra.
Underneath a beautiful picture of his family, the star wrote:

“Grateful for the light you bring into my life. Happy Diwali from our family to yours!”
