New Delhi: 'Lock Upp' fame Anjali Arora is a true Delhiite. The actor-influencer surely knows how to create the proper Diwali fervour. In an interaction with Hindustan Times, Anjali shared that when it comes to Diwali cleaning, not even 12.9 million Instagram followers can help.
When it comes to Mummy asking for Diwali ki safai, you have to help, even if you have 12.9 million followers on Instagram (laughs)! Recently, our domestic help was cleaning the doors and when I offered to help, my mom said in her Punjabi accent: ‘Mekha vich zor na lagayi, nikal aane hain. Kapde utha!’ (If you put pressure on your nails, the extensions will come off. Pick up your clothes),” Arora said, whose parents live in south Delhi’s Kalkaji.
Anjali Arora also shared that Diwalis is her favourite festival. “Diwali is my fave festival and since it comes close to my birthday (November 3), it often turns into a fun time! For the world, it’s a festival of lights but mere liye toh it is the festival of smiles,” says Arora, adding, “I love decorating our home. Upar se neeche tak the house gets decked with lights, flowers and diyas. All this is a very Delhi thing and doesn’t feel the same in Mumbai.” She added.
Anjali also spoke about buying from local vendors in the same interaction. “I never buy diyas from the showrooms because other than the packaging and added zeroes in the price tag, they are basically the same as the ones sold by local artisans. I shop only from local vendors who labour hard. Yeh log dil se duayein dete hain. That’s all one needs for a happy Diwali!”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Anjali Arora was last seen in 'Lock Upp' and her equation with Munawar Faruqui was appreciated by all.
