It's family time for Bollywood celebrities like Ayushmann Khurrana, Kalki Koechlin and Sushant Singh Rajput this Diwali.
Here's how they and other stars are celebrating the festival of lights Thursday:
Sushant Singh Rajput: I am with my family in Delhi for Diwali. Spending time with my niece and nephew after a long time.
Ayushmann Khurrana: Last year I performed at the Diwali mela in the US. This time I am lucky enough to spend Diwali with family and friends.
Kalki Koechlin: My mom has come to Mumbai to be with me for Diwali. I am planning a small get-together for her with close friends.
Sooraj Pancholi: I'll be home with my parents tucking into my mom's most amazing Diwali spread. Every son thinks his mother is the best cook in the world. In my case it's actually true.
Armaan Jain: Nothing flamboyant or fancy this Diwali. We'll have our usual pooja at home. After the pooja my mom, dad, my brother and I visit our paternal and maternal grandparents. After that I may hang around with a few friends.
Rajkummar Rao: Will miss Diwali at home since I am in Cape Town shooting.
Prabhudheva: I am in Chennai to be with my parents and my kids. For me, any time with family is Diwali.
Taapsee Pannu: Since I shifted to Mumbai this year, I'll be celebrating my first Diwali in this city. I want to celebrate it in my new home with no crackers. Just want beautiful lights and close friends and yummy food.
Tahir Bhasin: For me, Diwali is a time to be grateful for the glittering year that this has been. It's time to light up and cherish friends and family.
