deewali for Kollywood Stars

Suriya is doubly happy at having become a dad once again and about his latest release Singam going on to be a stupendous hit. For his sibling Karthi too all is well with three hits under his belt this year viz Ayirathil Oruvan, Paiyya and Naan Mahan Alla.

Karthi, who would be back in Chennai on the festival day from Hyderabad (where he is shooting for his forthcoming movie Siruthai) says, 'Deepavali is always fun. I am rushing home to be with my family.'

'Smiling beauty' Sneha says, 'it is a special Deepavali for me. I was shooting abroad during last year's Deepavali and it's after a long time that I am back to celebrate the festival with my family.'

Sneha has bought a Kashmiri salwar and a silk saree for herself. 'This time, I would be with my parents, sister and brother,' she says happily.

Actor Naren, who shot to fame with Chithiram Pesuthadi, too wants a grand celebration as he has become dad recently. 'We are thrilled to celebrate Deepavali with the newest member of our family,' he says.

Music composer Baradwaj, this Deepavali 'is an occasion to cherish.'

'It's my daughter's first Deepavali after her wedding. We have planned to have a grand celebration. Amidst our busy schedules, we would get a day off to spend time with the family.'
