PEACE FOR ALL!
What can I ask for myself? If given a chance, I would ask
the fairy godmother to make this world a happy place. Even
at the Miss World pageant, all I asked for was peace and happiness
for the people of India. Poverty is one thing that displeases
me. I would love if everyone has enough money to make a daily
living. Also this world should be free of communal hatred
and there should be bhaichara all over. Peace will make this
world a better place to live in and with all the problems
over, India as well as other countries can live in harmony.

GIVE PEACE A CHANCE
I wish for total peace in the entire world. Next on my list
would be that there is total accountability in the world,
for what every one does, or should do, whether it’s the
electricity people, the BMC guys or the telephone men. And
last, I’d would wish there was no illness at all on earth.

I HAVE EVERYTHING I WANT
NAME my three wishes? Now, that’s a difficult one, because,
frankly, I have everything I want. I can’t think of anything
more to ask for. But, let’s see, I’d ask the fairy
godmother to completely erase hatred from the world. Secondly,
I’d ask her to ban noisy crackers that are burst every
Diwali. It should be a festival of lights only with beautiful
deeyas and candles. Sparklers, too, I don’t mind, because
they add to the beauty. I also like rockets that create colourful
stars and circles in the sky.
Personally, I have only one wish - that I’m able to write
my feature film fast. Though I have been working on the idea
for a long time I haven’t been able to actually pen it
down, owing to laziness. This Diwali I am going to be at home.
I have taken an off from shootings during the week, so, I
hope to prepare a lot of sweets and even catch up on visiting
friends.

AN AARTI FOR HUBBY DEAREST
I wish to have a clean, pollution-free environment, you see
there is a lot of noise and smoke all around during Diwali.
I wish people would invest money a little more thoughtfully,
probably in better things like charity and people’s welfare,
instead of squandering it all on gambling (which goes on in
the name of Laxmi puja, when you exchange Laxmi).
I wish people became more aware of the need for cleaner surroundings.
They just burst crackers, messing up the streets and compounds.
Diwali ought to be a time for cleanliness.
This Diwali happens to be my first after marriage. I want
to celebrate it the best possible way, yes, even do an aarti
for my husband, who is a north Indian. I also plan to perform
Laxmi Puja with my in-laws and have a grand time.

FOR A DREAM HOLIDAY
FOR my three wishes, I’d request the fairy godmother
to roll them all into one: to allow me to go on the grand,
dream holiday I’ve been saving up for with my two sons
and wife. Yes, I’d like it to last into eternity.

LOOKING OUT FOR DAD
MY wish this Diwali would be : To have my Dad brought home
to me, once more. I lost my father sometime back, you know,
and I yearn to have him back with me again.
To have a voice like Lata Mangeshkar’s.
To inhabit a world where peace reigns supreme.
Diwali, for me, means a lot of time spent with friends at
functions. I celebrate it with loads of crackers and deeyas.
I only hope parents take care of their children better, and
keep them away from playing with fire and dangerous crackers.

EXTERMINATE POLITICIANS
MY first wish would be for all politicians to simply disappear,
disappear with a capital D. Next, I’d like
the environment to go back some two hundred years, to the
time when people breathed fresh air and drank clean water.
Lastly, I’d ask the fairy godmother to reserve pain and
suffering only for adults and spare the little ones.

AN EMPEROR WANNA BE
THE first boon I’d ask for is that my entire family
becomes immortal. Second, I’d want all the good people
to be alive a long time and the bad ones to simply
perish. Third, I’d like to become the emperor of the
world, and own all the good people.

FOR A STRESS-FREE LIFE
WELL, the three wishes I’d want for myself are:
That I be able to stay close to my family.
That I’d have a peaceful and stress-free existence.
And last but not the least, that I’d have a flourishing,
work-filled career.

ONE WIFE INTO ETERNITY
I would wish for the same people, the same atmosphere, yes,
even the same wife to share my life with, year after year
after year. These are my three wishes.

VISIT ME DAILY, GODMOTHER
THIS Diwali is a great one for me. I’ve signed Umesh
Mehra’s Mohabbat Hain and am also doing Revenge -The
Ghaav. So my dream of becoming a film actor is finally coming
true. Also, my dad is flying down from Kashmir, so Diwali
is going to be a family affair. As
for the three boons, I’d ask for more such boons on daily
basis. I’d ask that my first film becomes a superhit.
I’ll also ask that people become less manipulative.
