Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, affectionately known as SRK, may have opted out of his usual grand Diwali bash this year, but he still managed to spread festive cheer. The actor delighted fans by sharing an intimate glimpse into his family’s quiet Diwali celebrations on social media. He posted a heartwarming picture of his wife, Gauri Khan, performing the Diwali puja, accompanied by a touching note filled with love and warmth.
SRK Shares Diwali Greetings
Late on Monday, Shah Rukh took to Instagram to send his Diwali wishes to all his fans and well-wishers. While it was previously reported that the actor wouldn’t be hosting his annual Diwali party, this post offered a more personal peek into his family’s subdued yet joyous celebration.
The image shared on his social media featured Gauri Khan from behind, elegantly dressed as she performed the puja. While her face wasn’t fully visible, the idol in the background subtly hinted at the auspicious occasion.
Accompanying the photo, Shah Rukh captioned, “Happy Diwali to everyone! May Goddess Lakshmi ji bless you with prosperity and happiness. Wishing love, light and peace to all.”
Fans were absolutely thrilled to catch a glimpse of SRK’s private Diwali, flooding the comments section with enthusiastic messages. Many expressed their admiration for his inclusive spirit, with one fan commenting, “If secularism has a face, that is SRK Happy Diwali!” Another echoed the sentiment, calling him “The most secular actor of Indian cinema.”
Fans also showered praise on the family photo, with one user writing, “Nic pic. Goddess Lakshmi and your ghar ki Lakshmi.” Another user fondly added, “HAPPY DIWALI SHAH… HOPE YOUR DIWALI IS AS LOVELY AND GLOWING AS YOUR PRESENCE.” Many also expressed their eagerness to see him back on the big screen.
It’s understood that Shah Rukh’s decision to have a more private celebration was partly due to renovations at his iconic Mumbai residence, Mannat. Historically, SRK’s Mannat residence would be the venue for his much-anticipated Diwali parties, bringing together friends and family for the festival of lights.
