Rishab Shetty's Diwali celebration includes 'a lifetime of memories' with loved ones
Mumbai Oct 25
Aside from being a Sandalwood heartthrob, Rishab Shetty is also a perfect family man. For the 'Kantara' actor, Diwali 2025 was all about creating 'a lifetime of memories' with his loved ones.
Rishab took to social media and dropped a couple of festive photos with his better half, Pragathi Rishab Shetty, son Ranvit Shetty, and daughter Raadya Shetty. All four of them were seen looking Diwali-ready in stunning ethnic attire.
Posting pics from the Diwali celebration on his Instagram, Rishab penned, "A festival of lights, a lifetime of memories.. Grateful for family, love, and laughter this Deepavali..(sic)."
In the meantime, basking in the success of his latest release, “Kantara: Chapter 1â€, Rishab claimed that the real fun of filmmaking begins by “calling the shots.â€
He recently took to his IG and shared a couple of behind-the-scenes pictures from the sets of his latest release. The photos featured him taking charge as the director, 'calling the shots'.
“Nothing beats the thrill of calling the shots, that's where the real fun of filmmaking begins! #KantaraChapter1,†he wrote as the caption.
Before that, Rishab revealed that he shot 'Kantara: Chapter 1' climax with a swollen leg & exhausted body.
Uploading certain BTS snaps from the climax, he wrote, "This was during the climax shoot , a swollen leg, an exhausted body .. but today, the climax has become something that millions watch and admire. This was only possible through the blessings of the divine energy we believe in. Heartfelt thanks to everyone who have supported us..(sic)."
Apart from Rishab, “Kantara: Chapter 1†also stars Jayaram, Rukmini Vasanth, and Gulshan Devaiah in crucial roles, along with others.
A prequel to the 2022 film "Kantara", the story delves deeper into the origins of the tradition and ancestral conflict introduced in the first film.
"Kantara: Chapter 1" reached the cinema halls on October 2.

While I appreciate his family values, I wish more celebrities would use their platform to address social issues during festivals. Diwali is also about giving back to society, not just family celebrations.
Kantara Chapter 1 was mind-blowing! The dedication Rishab shows - shooting climax with swollen leg - this is why Indian cinema is reaching new heights. True passion for storytelling! ðŸ™
As someone who recently watched Kantara Chapter 1, I'm amazed by the cultural depth. It's refreshing to see regional cinema getting the recognition it deserves. The family Diwali pictures are just the cherry on top!
This is the kind of celebrity content we need more of - grounded, family-oriented, and culturally rich. In an era of superficial glamour, Rishab Shetty stands out as a true role model for Indian youth.
The way he balances being a successful director, actor, and family man is truly inspiring. His Diwali message about creating lifetime memories resonates so much with our Indian family values. More power to him! ✨
