Diwali is a festival of lights, happiness and togetherness, but the occasion becomes even more special when a family welcomes a new member. For several Bollywood and television celebrities, Diwali 2026 is bringing an additional reason to celebrate as they prepare to enjoy the festival with their little ones.
The year has brought happiness to several celebrity households, with actors welcoming their children and beginning a new chapter of parenthood. From Bollywood power couples to popular television personalities, these families have plenty to look forward to as they celebrate the festival with their youngest members.
Among them are Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja, Randeep Hooda and Lin Laishram, Karishma Tanna and Varun Bangera, and Pooja Banerjee and Kunal Verma. While some will be celebrating their first Diwali with their newborns, others will be introducing their younger children to the family's festive traditions.
Here is a look at five celebrity families for whom Diwali 2026 is particularly special.
1. Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh celebrate Diwali with daughter Devi
For Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh, 2026 has brought another beautiful addition to their family. The couple welcomed their second daughter on September 19, 2026, expanding their family of three into a family of four.
The actors later revealed their younger daughter's name as Devi Padukone Singh. Their announcement also gave fans a glimpse of the newborn, making the occasion special for admirers of the popular Bollywood couple.
Deepika and Ranveer are already parents to their elder daughter, Dua, who was born on September 8, 2024. Therefore, Diwali 2026 will not be their first festival as parents, but it will be their first Diwali celebration with both daughters together.
The arrival of Devi has added another reason for the couple to cherish family celebrations. Their festive moments are likely to be particularly meaningful as they introduce their younger daughter to traditions such as Lakshmi Puja, lighting diyas and spending time with loved ones.
The couple's fans will undoubtedly be looking forward to glimpses of the family celebrating the festival together.
2. Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja welcome Diwali with their second son
Actress Sonam Kapoor and businessman Anand Ahuja are also preparing for a special Diwali following the arrival of their second child in 2026.
The couple welcomed their baby boy on March 29, 2026. According to News Nation, they named their younger son Rudralok Kapoor Ahuja.
Sonam and Anand are already parents to their elder son, Vayu, who was born on August 20, 2022. The actress has occasionally shared glimpses of motherhood and family life on social media, giving followers an insight into her experiences as a parent.
Diwali has previously been a special occasion for the family. In 2022, Sonam shared photographs from the couple's celebrations and described Vayu's first Diwali with family and close friends as a particularly emotional moment.
This year, the arrival of their second son gives the family another reason to celebrate. With two young children at home, the festival is likely to bring plenty of memorable family moments, traditional outfits and festive photographs.
For Sonam and Anand, Diwali 2026 marks the first festival of lights with their younger son, making it a new milestone in their growing family's journey.
3. Randeep Hooda and Lin Laishram celebrate with daughter Nyomika
Actor Randeep Hooda and his wife Lin Laishram have another special reason to celebrate Diwali this year. The couple welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Nyomika Hooda, on March 10, 2026.
Becoming parents has marked a significant new chapter for Randeep and Lin. The couple, who married in November 2023, have largely kept their personal life away from unnecessary public attention while sharing important milestones with their admirers.
Their daughter's arrival brought happiness to the family, and Diwali 2026 will be the first time they celebrate the festival as parents.
For first-time parents, festivals often acquire a new meaning. Traditional celebrations, family gatherings and rituals become opportunities to create memories with their children. Nyomika's first Diwali is therefore expected to be an especially memorable occasion for the couple.
Fans will be eager to see whether Randeep and Lin share a glimpse of their daughter's festive celebrations.
4. Karishma Tanna and Varun Bangera celebrate son Ved's first Diwali
Television and film actress Karishma Tanna and her husband Varun Bangera also welcomed a new member into their family this year.
Karishma became a mother on July 29, 2026, when the couple welcomed their first child, a baby boy. They later revealed his name as Ved Tanna Bangera during the Janmashtami celebrations.
The naming of their son around the festive occasion made the milestone even more meaningful for the family. Now, as Diwali approaches, Karishma and Varun are preparing to celebrate another important occasion with their little boy.
For the couple, this will be their first Diwali as parents. The festival is likely to be filled with family moments, traditional rituals and the excitement of introducing Ved to celebrations that have been part of their lives for years.
Karishma has built a strong connection with television audiences through her work, and her journey into motherhood has also attracted considerable interest among fans. Her son's first Diwali is another personal milestone that followers will be keen to see.
5. Pooja Banerjee and Kunal Verma celebrate daughter Mysha's first Diwali
Television actors Pooja Banerjee and Kunal Verma have also welcomed a new member into their family. Pooja gave birth to their second child, a baby girl named Mysha, on August 15, 2026.
The couple already have an elder son, Krishiv, who has now stepped into the role of a big brother. The arrival of Mysha has brought another wave of happiness to the family.
Diwali 2026 will be the little girl's first festival of lights, making the occasion particularly special for her parents and elder brother. For Pooja and Kunal, the celebrations will be an opportunity to enjoy the festival with both their children and create new family memories.
The couple's experience will also be different from their earlier Diwali celebrations as they now have two young children to include in the festivities.
With Mysha's arrival, the family's celebrations are expected to carry an extra dose of excitement and warmth.
Diwali 2026 brings new beginnings for celebrity families
From Deepika and Ranveer welcoming their second daughter to Sonam Kapoor and Anand Ahuja celebrating with their younger son, Diwali 2026 is bringing special family moments for several celebrities.
Randeep Hooda and Lin Laishram, Karishma Tanna and Varun Bangera, and Pooja Banerjee and Kunal Verma are also preparing to celebrate important milestones with their little ones.
For these families, the festival is about more than decorations, traditional clothes and celebrations. It is also an opportunity to introduce their children to family traditions, spend time with loved ones and create memories that will remain special for years.
While fans may look forward to adorable festive photographs and glimpses of celebrity homes, the most meaningful part of the occasion for these parents will undoubtedly be celebrating with their children.
Diwali 2026, therefore, promises to be a festival of new beginnings, happiness and precious family memories for these five celebrity households.
