For Karisma Kapoor, the magic of Diwali lies in the happiness of celebrating together.

As a mother, she also enjoys seeing how children discover and embrace traditions, finding their own reasons to look forward to the celebrations.“For me, Diwali is all about family, warmth, and just pure joy,” she says. Talking about her association with Kinder this festive season, Karisma adds, “What I absolutely love about this collaboration is how Kinder is making the festival so relatable for the younger generation. It has beautifully turned traditional rituals — like making rangolis or hanging torans — into these interactive, playful activities at the Kinder Festive Home. It gives parents and children a chance to just sit down, play, and bond over simple moments of happiness, making our culture so much fun to learn.”Ask her what brings a smile to her face when it comes to chocolates and sweet treats, and Karisma’s answer comes back to her children. “Honestly, for me, seeing that pure joy on my kids’ faces is the absolute best feeling, and that’s what instantly brings a smile to my face,” she says.As for how her children enjoy the festival, Karisma says that dressing up, spending time with family and indulging in treats are all part of the celebrations. “Diwali is all about dressing up, family time, and of course, the treats! Sharing and gifting is a huge tradition for us, and this year, everyone is so excited about the new festive packs. The shapes are just so cool and unique that they instantly make the whole house look festive even before the kids open them up!”
