Celebrities extend Diwali 2026 greetings

Bollywood celebrities celebrated the festival of lights with heartfelt wishes, family moments and festive cheer. Amitabh Bachchan shared a thoughtful message on his blog, while Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal shared the first glimpse of their son Vihaan.

From Karan Johar and Sidharth Malhotra sharing warm greetings to Priyanka Chopra celebrating Diwali with husband Nick Jonas and daughter Malti Marie, stars gave fans a glimpse into their celebrations. Superstar Rajinikanth stepped out of his Chennai residence to greet hundreds of fans gathered outside. From festive family pictures to personal messages, here's how celebrities celebrated Diwali and extended their wishes.

Amitabh Bachchan extended Diwali and Chaturdashi wishes to readers through his latest blog post. He thanked everyone who had sent him greetings and gifts, adding that he had run out of space to keep all the presents.

The veteran actor also explained why he had been unable to respond to everyone on time. He said he was having difficulty moving the hand he usually uses to write.

“I wanted to write replies personally, but I am experiencing some difficulty moving the hand with which I write. That is why there has been a delay. I sincerely apologise,” Bachchan wrote.

Reflecting on his repeated apologies in recent days, he shared his thoughts on seeking forgiveness. “One should seek forgiveness. There is nothing wrong in asking for it,” he



wrote.

He added that if the other person accepts the apology, “Our heart will feel happy and at peace. If not, their mind will remain disturbed.”

Bachchan then asked readers: “So, the question is: should one choose happiness and peace of mind or resentment and hurt?” He ended the message by writing, “Diversity is the mystery of life.”

Kareena Kapoor Khan shared this heartwarming family frame as her Diwali greeting, sitting right at parents Randhir and Babita's feet alongside sister Karisma. With a playful nod to Raj Kapoor’s iconic melody, it’s easily the sweetest festive reminder that nothing beats family warmth this season.

Varun Dhawan's Diwali post includes photo of himself, pictures with wife Natasha, daughter Lara, comedian Samay Raina and more.

Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal wished fans on Diwali by sharing their first festive family photo with son Vihaan. "Our brightest Diwali yet Wishing everyone love, light and happiness (sic)," read the caption of their joint post.

Karan Johar joined the celebrations with a message for his followers. The filmmaker wrote, “The season of light and loving of positivity and giving. Happy Diwali to all.”

Sidharth Malhotra added a sweet touch to his greeting by sharing pictures of himself holding a box of sweets. “Wishing you all a very sweet Diwali, filled with love, laughter and lots of mithai!” he wrote.
