Shaan R Grover’s Fun Segment
During the fun segment with us, Shaan R Grover answered the following questions.
His favourite crackers- “I think simple firecrackers like phuljhadi would be nice. So yeah, that is something you can do and yeah, phuljhdis are nice.”
His favourite Diwali mithai- “As far as the sweets are concerned, any sort of laddoos are nice. Besan ke laddoos, Moti chur ke laddoos. Just give me any laddoos. Or Modaks also maybe. I love Modaks. And Modaks, laddoos, they all are welcome.”
His favourite Diwali namkeen- “As far as namkeen is concerned, anything spicy, anything sweet or a mixture of both, anything is more than welcome.”
His favourite film to watch on Diwali- “Any nice, feel-good family movie would be nice to watch after puja, dinner, and all the cards that you’ve played. That’s what I’ve done. And it’s been a ritual with my mom and dad that I go for a movie with them every Diwali. It’s been, I don’t know, from as far as I remember, since I was like five or six maybe, every Diwali. We’ve gone for a movie on the day of Diwali, so that’s been a ritual. So I love the popcorn. I love watching the movie with my parents on the biggest screen possible in a theatre. That’s always been a ritual.”
His favourite game(s) to play with family or friends, or Diwali- “Of course, cards. I’m very big on that. I’m a Delhi kid, so I’ve played Teen Patti all my life, and I’m pretty good at it too. So, of course, this is a no-brainer. I play Teen Patti, which is a card game, on Diwali.”
His favourite spot to visit to see crackers being lit- “I don’t know any spots where I can see firecrackers burning in Mumbai. Like I said, not so big on firecrackers anymore. But as we speak right now, I can hear the firecrackers being burst outside my house in my society. The kids are pretty big on that. So that is the best side because I love the society kids, and they are my good friends. And just to see them enjoying makes me feel happy. So I would say my society.”
