I remember watching Manasi in Saaya as a child! She was such a brilliant actress then and continues to inspire. Her perspective on Diwali being about counting blessings is exactly what we need in today's materialistic world.

While I appreciate her sentiment, I wish more celebrities would actually practice what they preach. Many talk about 'joy of giving' but their lavish Diwali parties suggest otherwise. Still, good message though!

Her description of Diwali traditions brought back so many childhood memories! Making rangoli with my mother, preparing sweets with my grandmother - these are the moments that make our festivals special. Can't wait to watch her new show!
