The Bachchans are quite known for their larger-than-life Diwali and Holi parties. However, this year, Diwali celebrations will be muted at the Bachchan household. Death in the family and coronavirus concerns have been the deciding factors.
Abhishek Bachchan has mentioned that they won't celebrate Diwali due to the death of Ritu Nanda, mother-in-law of his sister Shweta this year. Talking to Spotboye, Abhishek said, "It's true. We had a death in the family this year. My sister Shweta's mother-in-law (Ritu Nanda) passed away. Besides, who hosts parties at a time like this? Civilisation is going through the worst crisis ever. We all need to be as careful as possible. Observing the utmost social distance is the only option we have. And that too is not a guarantee against infection. Diwali parties and other social occasions are for now a distant dream."
