Diwali's round the corner, there's fun and revelry in the air. While the entire country is alit with the orange glow of twinkling diyas to welcome the goddess of wealth with Lakshmi puja, the fireworks and sweets add on joy and happiness to the festival.
So, how is our tellywood's producer brigade gearing up for this beautiful festival. Kavita Shyam spoke to some of the TV producers about their Diwali plans.

We do office puja where the well wishers drop in and we have a havan. After which we go to our respective homes for our house puja. My four year old son loves this ritual. I burst a few crackers only as a shagun for my son's sake (as otherwise it's a sheer waste of money) and then we go to our family friend's house for a get together. I go to my grand father's house every year as he gives me hundred rupees on Diwali and now my son also loves to do the same.
I do have a card party for my close friends which takes place before Diwali. This year we'd be going to Shammi uncle's house for his birthday and then hop from one friend's house to another. it'd be hectic but I love it. I love the festival, the diyas, candles and people around me in all their finery.

I've become a proud father and this Diwali I plan to introduce my baby to the

festival. I generally play cards on the Diwali night and plan to call my friends ( Sudhanshu Pandey, Anoop Soni, Aditya Singh) home for a card party. For me such parties are in no way a way to make money but its all about having fun with close friends. And somewhere I think the child in everybody comes out while we play cards and we go back in time. One day before Diwali we oriyas show diyas to our forefathers which is our way of showing our gratitude to our ancestors.
I am on my way to Goregaon to get some sweets from a Maharashtrian shop which my mother-in-law has suggested.

This Diwali I am going to my friend Vinita's place to play cards. I think, for people who want to be featured on the page 3 columns it would be an opportunity to network with people and come into the limelight. We are not shooting this month and begin shooting only next month so there's no issue of having to give holidays to the actors.

Ravi Behl-
I'd be spending Diwali at a friend's place and it's going to be a get together of

sorts with college and school friends. I believe on Diwali one would be like to be with near and dear ones sharing love and happiness. I'd pray for success and happiness and I know money will follow. I am also thinking of giving myself a nice Diwali holiday as I've been working very hard and need a break.

I'd pray hard for my next project to start fast on time and since it's a day when we

Bengalis celebrate Kali Puja I'd be visiting Rama Krishna Mission. There might be a possibility of an impromptu party at home where in friends might drop in for the festival. My kids have become conscious and plan to burst eco friendly crackers if there are any in the market. I plan to decorate my house with lights and flowers keeping with the festive season. To each their own but I am not much of a card party person and would rather spend time with my kids. I have never used such parties as a place to network as I've done things on my own steam. I would pray for peace and not as much for money as that will follow with hard work.
