Entertainment folks talk about the cracker they resemble

Phuljhadi, Anaar or Chakri; this Diwali, entertainment folks talk about which firecracker they associate themselves with.

Dalljiet Kaur - I think I will associate myself with a phuljhadi because not only is it safe but also the most loved cracker for all age groups. I like to believe that people of all age groups can relate to me and bond with me. 

Supriya Kumari - I resemble the sutali bomb as I will I am also a chota packet, bada dhamaka. It’s funny but that’s how I feel about myself! I am very spontaneous as a person and I feel that keeps me energised all the time.

Sehban Azim - I am a diya, that is how I am. I am calm and composed, simply spreading as much light as I can. I am consistent and persistent.

Maybe it is boring, but it is simple and that is the way I am.
