<p>Saira Banu also remembered how, during her initial days in the film industry, they used to attend lovely Diwali parties.</p>
<p>The veteran actress captioned the post, "There is something quite magical about <strong><a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/arjun-bijlani-zanai-bhosle-and-others-share-their-favourite-diwali-party-songs-23659114" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Diwali</a></strong>. Perhaps it is the way a thousand little diyas make a home feel warmer, or how certain moments, even years later, return to us with the tenderness of an old photograph. (sic)."</p>
<p>Recalling the good old days, she added, "I often think of the Diwalis Dilip Sahib and I shared, and our little tradition of taking our annual photograph together, surrounded by the glow of diyas, while our home sparkled with countless little flames. In my early days in the film industry, there were lovely Diwali gatherings, dear friends, endless festivities and the childlike delight of lighting phuljhadis. How beautifully those memories have stayed with me!"</p>
<p>She further noted that "life has a curious way of turning moments into memories, but the love with which they were lived never quite leaves us."</p>
<p>"This Diwali, I wish for every home to be filled with laughter, every heart with contentment, and every life with little moments that become beautiful memories. Wishing you all a truly blessed and happy Diwali. (red heart emoji)," Saira Banu's Diwali wish for everyone read.</p>
