Ridhima Pandit Shares Her Diwali Diet Secrets

Ridhima Pandit is eagerly preparing for Diwali, expressing her love for the traditional Maharashtrian celebrations. She shares, "I am on my way to buy a beautiful kandil which marks the beginning of Diwali celebrations. My favorite ritual is making Diwali snacks. When I was younger, I used to create a mess rather than helping my grandmother make sweets. But recently, I've learned how to make a few treats. We prepare the Maharashtrian faral, which includes chakli, ghoogra, and karanjya."   The actor enjoys taking a break from her usual diet to indulge in festive delicacies. She states, “Five days before Diwali, my diet goes completely off track. As actors, we usually eat healthy, but during this festive time, I forget about calorie deficits. I indulge wholeheartedly, enjoying a rich Maharashtrian lunch with amti, sweets, and all the traditional dishes. Karanjya is my favorite, along with kaju katli, gulab jamun, and jalebi.”   On home decor, Ridhima adds, “I am the one who puts the toran at the entrance, and we collectively hang the lights. Every year, I decorate our home with new lights. It smells beautiful, filled with flowers during this festive period.”
