India, Nov. 7 -- For actor Saiyami Kher, Diwali has evolved far beyond the classic living room celebration, Saiyami finds "warmth in video calls, set life, and the unmistakable aroma of treasured my heirloom recipes."

While festivals are usually synonymous with family reunions, reflecting on how she plans to celebrate with her family in another city, Saiyami shares, "No doubt that Diwali is a family affair for me too. It's almost become a ritual to travel somewhere together with my parents and sister. We make it a point to spend that time together every year. But this year is a little different because I have a working Diwali. I'm going to miss having everyone together, but hopefully, we can make up for it with a family holiday soon!"
