As Bachchans Diwali parties are known to be a delight, Abhishek was asked how his family will be celebrating the festival this year and whether they will be having a similar grand celebration or not. As the risk of COVID-19 still persists, the chances of having grand celebrations this festival season are next to impossible. According to reports by SpotboyE, there are two reasons due to which Abhishek Bachchan’s family won’t be hosting a Diwali party this year. One is that one of their relatives recently died this year and the other reason being that it isn't completely safe to host a party. 

Talking about the party plans, Abhishek Bachchan said that it is true that the all-time Bachchan Diwali Parties won’t be held this year. He added that Shweta’s mother-in-law had recently passed away. He also added that who would host parties at a time like this.
