Tahir Raj Bhasin excited to celebrate Diwali with family in Delhi

This year's Diwali is special for 'Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein' actor Tahir Raj Bhasin as he will be ringing in the festival of lights with his family in Delhi.

"Celebrating festivals with the family is always exciting and overwhelming. I am so glad that this year I can manage to take out some time and go back home," Tahir shared.

"My family is absolutely thrilled that I am finally able to be with them during this time. Due to work and then the pandemic, I wasn't able to go to Delhi for Diwali. So this year, I was very keen to be with them," he added.

Given that he hadn't had an opportunity to spend Diwali with his family for the last three years owing to his work commitments and the pandemic, Tahir decided to take off to the capital city this year, despite his hectic schedule.

Diwali will be observed on October 24 this year. The event, which falls on the same day as the Hindu New Year, honours fresh starts and denotes the triumph of light over darkness.

It occurs on the fifteenth day of the Hindu calendar month of Kartik, and each of its four days is marked by distinct, well-defined traditions that are observed with joy and goodness.
