Here's how Bollywood celebrates Diwali

It's that dazzling time of the year again. The sparkling festival of Diwali is just around the corner.

Sure, it marks the release of biggies like Blue, Main Aurr Mrs Khanna and All The Best. But there's more to the Bollywood-Diwali connection than you think. Both are synonymous with lights, action and festivity.

It's called the festival of lights. And with good reason. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan gets into the spirit of Diwali with a radiant diya in her hand.

Diwali devoid of fireworks is pretty much like Holi without colours. From classic sparklers to rounds of anaar, chakras and rockets, it's all part of the festive description. Check out how a protective Aamir Khan shows Juhi Chawla how it's done.

Festivals are a great excuse to shop for gold and fineries. Like Kareena Kapoor and Neha Dhupia who slip into their best festive gear adding glamour to this grand day.

Diwali and decorations go hand in hand. And so your abode adorns dozens of lamps, strings of marigold, shimmering fairy lights, kandeels (paper lanterns) and colourful patterns of rangoli.

The equally decked up backdrop behind the glittery trio of Linda Arsenio, Aftab Shivdasani and Aamna Sharif is case in the point.
