As India celebrates Dusshera on Tuesday, B-Town celebrities took the opportunity to extend warm wishes of the festival to all.
On the auspicious occasion, Bollywood stars such as Taapsee Pannu, Karan Johar, Arjun Kapoor, Akshay Kumar and Nimrat Kaur wished for love, light and happiness.
Dusshera, also known as Vijayadashmi, marks the victory of Lord Ram over the evil King Ravana. On this day, effigies of the latter are burnt to signify the triumph of victory of good over evil across the country. The day also signifies the victory of goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura. The goddess fought with him for 10 days and nine nights.
Here’s what they have written on various social media platforms for all:
Taapsee Pannu whose upcoming film Saand Ki Aankh is lined up for release alongside Akshay Kumar starrer Housefull 4 tweeted, “Every end marks an opportunity to begin something new…Culminating the colourful Navratras with the culmination of the evil tonight…Happy Dussehra !!!! Keep the celebrations on!!!”
