Diwali 2011 - the festival of lights is not only celebrated in India but in almost all the countries of the world as all of them have Indian population living there.
Bollywood too has gone global and so are the Diwali celebrations. Celebrities from Bollywood are flown to particular foreign locations. A huge Diwali bash was held in the picturesque South Africa.
Film actors like Upen Patel and Celina Jaitley were present to enthrall the audience. Celina thanked the people of Africa for their warmth and support and requested the audience to watch her movie ‘Golmaal’ and enjoy it.
This is an excellent way to promote movies which are lined up for release around Diwali time.
The celebrities and actors too feel it like a home away from home. They enjoy it completely dancing with their fans and other cultural activities.There was a huge display of fireworks couple with African national dances on Bollywood music. Indian families at Johannesburg where the function was held gather and feel at home. Miles away from their nation, these families find such Bollywood Diwali 2011 function as a way to be close to their home and traditions.
