November 12, 2020 09:39 IST

Every year the Festival of Lights fills our hearts with hope and happiness.

Of course, with COVID-19's grim presence still looming large and no vaccine in sight, celebrations remain low-key and subdued.

Social distancing may have limited Bollywood's partying scene, but there are still plenty of ways to feel festive during lockdown.

Too scared to style those tresses in the salon? Wear them fuss free and loose using any serum and good ol’ hairdryer at home.

Just because you cannot step out doesn't mean you cannot enjoy fashion? Take out that 'saved for a special occasion' outfit and do a little Diwali dance in your living room.
