Jehangir Ali Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan

Babble and rattle

Kareena Kapoor Khan, Saif Ali Khan and kids, Taimur and Jehangir, celebrated Diwali away from the city. Bebo made the festival of lights brighter by sharing an adorable picture of Jeh and Saifu from their getaway. The tot is seen holding a teether and crawling to be closer to Saif. "Love and light," she captioned the image. Tim's fans wondered why she did not include him in the snapshot to make it a dad and sons portrait. Tim, who turns five next month, was perhaps too busy chilling by the poolside to pose for mommy dearest.

Six yards of delight

Tanuja gifted daughters, Kajol and Tanishaa, Dhakai sarees for the festive season. The veteran actor's regular dealer's looms and village were ravaged by flash floods in Bengal last year. He rebuilt it and came up with fresh stocks for Durga Puja and Diwali. Tanishaa urged people to support the handloom industry post the pandemic. "We need to stand with them, and the work they do is incredible," she said.

The will to change

Shilpa Shetty's cryptic posts continue. A section of netizens claim they refer to hubby Raj Kundra, the key accused in a pornography case. The latest is an extract from legendary Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen's work. It read, "It is not by spectacular achievements that man can transform, but by will. How do we change ourselves? We hope for saviours, for magic, for something wonderful... we also must set our will and do what we can to make a difference (sic)." Looks like Shetty will continue with her cryptic messages for a while.

Seeking blessings

Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu shared glimpses of the Lakshmi puja at their home. "May love and light illuminate every dark corner of your home and heart," wrote Khan. "To love, light, happiness and health," added Kemmu.

Khan also hoped for peace, prosperity and good health.

Diya jale

Lata Mangeshkar shared a throwback photograph in which she can be seen lighting a diya to extend Diwali greetings. Taking to Twitter, the legendary singer wrote, "Wishing you all a very Happy Diwali.

A die-hard admirer added, "No day is complete without listening to her melodies."
