Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has extended warm Diwali greetings to his fans worldwide through a heartfelt social media post. In a move that delighted his followers, the actor shared a photo believed to be of his wife, Gauri Khan, engaged in Diwali puja.
The image was accompanied by a caption that read, "Happy Diwali to everyone! May Goddess Lakshmi ji bless you with prosperity and happiness. Wishing love, light and peace to all". The post immediately garnered significant attention, with fans flooding the comments section with Diwali wishes, heart emoticons, and expressions of love and admiration.
Khan's Diwali message resonated with fans, who appreciate his consistent efforts to connect with them on a personal level. The shared image of Gauri Khan added a personal touch to the greeting, emphasizing the importance of family and tradition during the festive season.
Notably, this year's Diwali celebration for the Khan family is a more intimate affair. Unlike previous years, Shah Rukh Khan has opted to skip the grand Diwali party at Mannat, his iconic Mumbai residence. This decision is reportedly due to ongoing renovations at the house. In the past, these Diwali parties at Mannat were star-studded events, attended by the who's who of Bollywood.
Despite skipping the large celebration, Khan has been spotted at other Diwali festivities, such as producer Ramesh Taurani's Diwali party.
On the professional front, Shah Rukh Khan remains incredibly busy. He is currently juggling various film commitments, including the shooting of "King" in Europe, where he was recently seen attending the Joy Forum and meeting with Korean film legend Lee Jung-Jae. "King" marks the first time Shah Rukh Khan will be sharing screen space with his daughter, Suhana Khan. The film also stars Deepika Padukone in a prominent role, alongside Rani Mukerji and Abhishek Bachchan.
In previous years, Shah Rukh Khan has openly discussed his approach to celebrating Diwali and instilling the values of religious harmony in his children. A video from a 2004 BBC documentary resurfaced last year, showcasing Shah Rukh and Gauri explaining the significance of Diwali puja to their children, Aryan and Suhana. In the video, Khan emphasizes the importance of understanding and respecting all religions, highlighting the presence of both Hindu deities and the Quran in their home.
As Diwali celebrations continue across the globe, Shah Rukh Khan's message of love, light, and peace serves as a reminder of the festival's true essence.
