And as always, she has selected something that I’m going to gift her,” he said, highlighting how gifting is sorted for this year’s festivities as well.“In that way, I’m very planned. I do things in advance. I don’t want her to wait for the last minute, and then you are running around and then you are running around. And I also keep a check on her phone, what she’s looking for,” he added.
Sharad Kelkar says Diwali is not just about family, but about friends and society
While speaking on the topic of gifting, Sharad Kelkar shared with us that he not only takes care of his family but also his staff. “The good thing is now, because I’m capable, I feel very overwhelmed and thankful to God that he made me such that I can take care of my staff also,” he said before adding, “So, I have around four or five people who are working for me day and night. So, it’s bonus time for them. They, too, get excited about the bonus, clothes, and firecrackers for the whole family. It’s a very happy and joyous time for, I think, everyone. It’s a symbol of prosperity and happiness.”“So, I try and, you know, spread whatever I can do in my capacity, I do for people who are with me for a long time. Somebody is from 20 years, somebody from 22 years, somebody from 16, 17 years. So, you know, it’s not just about you, it’s about your society, your friends, your family,” he concluded.
