Mumbai, Oct 31 (IANS): Actor Avinash Tiwary says he might indulge a little but will stick to his diet as he starts shooting again right after Diwali.

“I love Diwali treats! But I’ll be sticking to a diet because I start shooting again right after Diwali, so I need to stay focused. I might indulge a little, but I’ll be careful to keep things balanced—it’s hard to resist sweets during the festive season, though!"

Avinash told IANS, when asked about indulging in Diwali delicacies. Like every year, Avinash plans to spend time with family on the festival of lights. "Every Diwali, I make it a point to spend time with my family—it’s a tradition I cherish. This year, since I’ve recently moved into my own place, I'll first go to my parents' home to do the Pooja with them, and then they’ll all come over to my place for another Pooja.” “It’s a beautiful way to share this festival, and I’m really looking forward to it."

He shared that Diwali for him is all about “family time”. “It’s usually quite intimate, with good food, quality conversations, and creating warm memories. I like keeping it low-key, meeting a few close friends, sharing good food, and just catching up. The festival really brings that special closeness." On the work front, Avinash will next be seen alongside Tamannaah Bhatia, Jimmy Shergill, in “Sikandar Ka Muqaddar”.
