As Diwali approaches, Neha Bhasin, the Bollywood singer known for her powerful voice and vibrant personality, is preparing to immerse herself in the festive spirit of "Dilli Ki Diwali." Having grown up in Delhi, the singer associates deep nostalgia and cultural significance with the festival of lights in the capital.
Bhasin has often spoken about how Diwali celebrations in Delhi hold a special place in her heart. She reminisces about the joyous atmosphere, the beautifully lit-up houses, and the sense of community that permeates the city during this time.

Recently, Bhasin shared a nostalgic post on Instagram, reminiscing about the Diwali melas (fairs) in her Delhi colony. Amidst the buzz of global fashion events like the Met Gala, she expressed how those carefree, joyful celebrations, filled with chaat stalls, laughter, and 20-rupee dance rooms, felt far more authentic. The post sparked a wave of reactions, with many fans resonating with her nostalgia and appreciating her authenticity.
While details of Neha Bhasin's specific Diwali plans for this year remain under wraps, it's likely that she will celebrate with close family and friends. In previous years, she has mentioned keeping the Diwali lights on all night, a tradition she follows based on her mother's belief that it brings good fortune.
Notably, Neha Bhasin was a member of Viva, India's first all-girls pop band that reunited for Diwali this year, sparking nostalgia for the 2000s. Neha Bhasin, Mahua Kamat, Pratichee Mohapatra, and Anushka Manchanda, were seen together at a Diwali party. Formed in 2002 through a reality show, Viva became a cultural phenomenon.
Whether she's attending a Diwali party, lighting diyas with family, or simply soaking in the festive atmosphere, Neha Bhasin is sure to embrace the spirit of "Dilli Ki Diwali" with her signature enthusiasm and warmth.
