Bollywood stars celebrated Diwali with their families and shared pix -- where else, on Instagram.
Kajal Agarwal Kitchlu, seen here with husband Gautam Kitchlu, writes, 'As the lamps light up our home and the sound of laughter fills the air, I'm reminded that true celebration isn't about grandeur -- it's about presence. It's about the warmth of family, the comfort of shared meals, and the quiet gratitude for all that we have.
'This year, Diwali felt especially special. Simple, soulful, and full of love. Wishing you and your family the kind of light that glows softly, steadily, and from within. Happy Diwali.'
Kajol, seen here with Ajay Devgn, their daughter Nysa and son Yug, writes, 'Life is a cycle. Day before was Diwali and was the beginning of something and the end of something else. All we can say is that life is all about family and all about love. Om Shanti Shanti to one and all #HappyNewYear.'
'The perfect formula: Prayers for the soul, people for the love, and parties for the memories. That's how you do Diwali. May the glow of a thousand lamps banish every shadow, and may the festival of lights bring new hope, prosperity, and success into all your lives. Happy Diwali, my Insta fam!', Vivek Oberoi, seen here with wife Priyanka Alva, tells us.

'There's a quiet strength and deep reassurance in having a home and people who love you unconditionally, no matter what. Hope you all had a happy happy one surrounded by the love and warmth of your family.'
