Look at the local craftsmen, handloom artists, diya makers, home-cooked snacks, handmade decorative artists… They have art that is outstanding, durable and affordable when compared to the similar imported products. Diwali is meant to make everyone happy, and these small wage artists have very selected days in the year when they can actually earn something, so how about we support their families by buying from them."

I feel that buying from them not only helps us promote Indian culture and art but also the emotion with which they make these products lit up our festivities."
The actress also highlighted how purchasing handmade and locally produced goods can make the festival more meaningful. She believes that the effort and emotion that artisans put into creating their products add a special touch to Diwali celebrations.
