Festivals like Diwali provide some ideal moments to spend with loved ones and create cherished memories. For Hrithik Roshan, Diwali is a great opportunity for a family reunion. The actor, who was in Jaipur recently, shared his plans for the festival, his love for the city and more. Excerpts:

On his love for Diwali
Diwali is one of my favourite festivals. With lights all around, everyone gets into the celebration mode. What makes the festival special is bringing the entire family and friends together for celebration. I love participating in puja with them.

On Koi…Mil Gaya completing 20 years
It’s like me talking about my first love. Koi…Mil Gaya is the dearest emotion and will always remain special in my life. It gave me a chance to express my feelings and revisit my own childhood on the big screen. It was also a medium to escape the hardships that I had gone through in life. No exaggeration, but we took the biggest risk with this film, and I accepted the role with all my heart. If the character demands any skills, be it dance or action, I am happy to master it for my craft. Additionally, it helps me stay fit.

On his love for Jaipur
I have spent a lot of time here as I have relatives in Jaipur. Many of my summer vacations were spent here, having fun with my cousins, and exploring the beauty of Jaipur. I love the way the city has expanded, and it has some picturesque locations.
