Actor Amitabh Bachchan celebrated Diwali with his family at home. Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Shweta Bachchan, Navya Naveli Nanda, Agastya Nanda, and Aaradhya Bachchan were present with Amitabh for the festivities and had also shared family pictures on Instagram.
Amitabh Bachchan spoke elaborately about spending Diwali with his family on his blog. He wrote that the Diwali night had an eerie silence about it. He said that his family members spent the night glued to their phones.
“The gaiety , the fun and frolic of the past .. the celebration of this festive day .. friends and well wishers at Jalsa and the night of light and brightness .. in the diyas of hope and prosperity .. it has been deafeningly silent for a Diwali night .. no or hardly any sound of fire crackers .. perhaps a GOI ruling against it , but even so an eerie silence about .. and a room full of family and each in his or her own world of the mobile,” he wrote.
“What has the rapid communication done to us .. destroyed memory, remembering .. an answer to all on the net and a depletion of the mind and the brain to face up to the challenges, for public consumption and beyond,” he added.
