The year that Krishnaraj had passed away, the Bachchans had cancelled all their celebrations has a mark of respect. Even this year, given the current scenario, the Bachchans did not host their annual Diwali party, talking to SpotboyE about the same Abhishek had said, “It’s true. We had a death in the family this year. My sister Shweta’s mother-in-law (Ritu Nanda) passed away. Besides, who hosts parties at a time like this? Civilisation is going through the worst crisis ever. We all need to be as careful as possible. Observing the utmost social distance is the only option we have. And that too is not a guarantee against infection. Diwali parties and other social occasions are for now a distant dream.”
