Only some time ago Soha Ali Khan had enjoyed a lavish and royal celebration - courtesy her brother Saif Ali Khan’s marriage to Kareena Kapoor. Next the Pataudi beauty is looking forward to celebrating the Festival of Lights.

On asking about her childhood Diwali memories, Soha shared, As a child we lived in Delhi and Diwali would be celebrated in true Dilli style at an opulent farmhouse party with an elaborate fireworks display, food, dance and merriment till the early hours of the morning...often trips to the hospital were included as someone inevitably burnt a hand or a foot setting of a rocket or a bomb!...

Coming to modern Diwali, Soha viewed, In recent years Diwali has taken on a less risky and more environmentally friendly tone - we light diyas in and outside the house, do a puja and eat sweets till we pop! No risk to life or limb - or nothing an antacid can't take care of!...
