India, Nov. 8 -- F or actor Sharvari, Diwali celebrations are incomplete without a traditional Maharashtrian breakfast with her family. So much so that even when she was away shooting (on Diwali last year), her mother made sure she didn't miss out. "I remember that even when I was shooting for Main Vaapas Aunga in Punjab, my mom had actually sent ghar ka faral there. I remember that I had put it up in the [vanity] van and everybody had eaten it together. Even if I'm away, I feel like this is the best thing because she always sends it to me. And I really love it when it's made at home," recalls the 29-year-old. Faral, a festive spread of homemade Maharashtrian sweets and savouries, is a family ritual she particularly looks forward to. Her favourites include karanji, a sweet stuffed pastry, and shankarpali, a crisp, bite-sized snack, both prepared at home every year. At home, though, Sharvari admits she is happy to take a back seat when it comes to Diwali preparations. "My mom is the one who cooks all the food and plans everything and puts things together. And my sister, Kasturi Wagh, is the one who will always push everyone to dress up and wear good clothes. I think I come in the followers [list]," she says. Having grown up in Mumbai, Sharvari says the celebrations have changed little over the years, particularly the joy of having relatives under one roof. "It is a time when the city is lit up, and so are everybody's moods and energies. I love that because everyone takes off a few days from their work and spends time with their family. That will always stay my favourite part of Diwali," she shares. With Yeh Prem Mol Liya lined up for release, Sharvari has her wishes for the festive season clear. "What I want to invite is a lot of love, positivity, gratitude and clarity. One thing that I want to let go of is probably any kind of doubt or negative thoughts," she says....
