Diwali, the grand festival of lights, is a time of joy, spiritual renewal, and togetherness. Spanning multiple days of vibrant celebrations, it is marked by the warmth of diyas, beautiful home decorations, and sacred prayers that welcome prosperity and new beginnings into our lives. Alice Kaushik, who was last seen in Naagin 7, shares her thoughts on the festive season, her journey in the industry, and her vision for a conscious and joyful celebration.
Diwali holds a deeply special place in her heart as a vibrant collection of multiple celebrations rolled into one. Embracing the festive preparations wholeheartedly, she shares, “Diwali is my absolute favourite festival. It is a collection of many festivals together. I love the way everyone goes all out decorating their houses. All the prayers and pujas done give the feeling of a new beginning. I honestly go all out during Diwali.”
Looking back at her milestones in the television industry, Alice expresses immense gratitude for the experiences that have shaped her path and fueled her passion for her craft. “When I look back at my journey, I am honestly grateful for every milestone—small and big. Every single thing that has happened in my career has led me to where I am today and has taught me so much. I love my craft, and I hope to grow more and more in the future. God has been kind to me.”
When it comes to festive fashion, she believes that traditional glamour and absolute comfort can easily go hand in hand. “I love traditional ethnic wear. I make use of all opportunities to wear them. If you choose right, your heavy ethnic traditional wear can also be comfortable. You can wear it till the end of the night or the next morning without it hindering your enjoyment.”
Emphasising the importance of fitness and mindful choices during the festivities—especially regarding a quiet and eco-friendly celebration for animals, she notes, “I was not a fitness enthusiast earlier, but now I am very strict about my fitness. Eating right is important to me. I will make sure I have only prasad as a sweet and end my sweet indulgence at that. I do not have cheat days that last long. Celebrations do not have to be loud. I am very against fireworks… Animals hear 10 times louder than us. A lot of them go through trauma when they hear loud sounds. This earth belongs to them as much as it belongs to us. We need to learn to co-exist.”
