Diwali season has officially kickstarted for Bollywood, as actors across generations assembled under one roof to celebrate the festival of lights on Sunday in Mumbai. The party was hosted by ace designer Manish Malhotra. Film veterans like Rekha and Hema Malini, superstars like Madhuri Dixit, Kajol, Urmila Matondkar, and Kareena Kapoor, along with a bunch of today's actors like Sara Ali Khan, Kriti Sanon, and Ananya Panday, showed up in their festive best.
