The Festival of Lights holds a special, radiant glow this year for power couple Varun Tej and Lavanya Tripathi. After welcoming their baby boy, Vaayuv Tej Konidela, in September, this Diwali marks his very first celebration—a monumental milestone that has added a precious new dimension to the Konidela family’s annual festivities. The joyous gathering is taking place, as is tradition, at Megastar Chiranjeevi’s sprawling Jubilee Hills residence, turning a grand celebration into a deeply heartwarming family moment.

The Newest Star of the Mega Family

The arrival of little Vaayuv, whose unique name signifies "unstoppable force, devotion, and spiritual radiance," has brought an undeniable wave of excitement to the entire Mega family clan. While every Diwali is marked by togetherness for the Konidela family, this year is elevated by the presence of the newest member.

For Varun and Lavanya, celebrating their son's first major festival is a moment of pure bliss. The new parents, who tied the knot in a dreamy Italian wedding last year, are now embracing their most beautiful role yet. Lavanya has shared her excitement, noting that the traditional rituals and family gathering—an evening that typically starts with a private puja at their home before heading to Chiranjeevi’s house—feel extra special with Vaayuv in their arms.

Chiranjeevi’s Home: The Epicentre of Festivity

The traditional family gathering at Chiranjeevi’s Jubilee Hills home is the heart of the celebration. It’s a cherished, decades-old tradition that keeps the large family unit close-knit and grounded. The night is a beautiful melange of old and new customs: traditional pujas for prosperity and light, a spectacular spread of delicious festive food, and the sight of all the cousins and family members dressed in their finest traditional outfits.

Varun Tej himself credits his uncle, Chiranjeevi, with instilling this strong sense of family togetherness, ensuring that everyone pauses their busy lives to connect during festivals and even alternate Sunday get-togethers. On this Diwali, the focus shifts slightly from the veterans to the infant, with little Vaayuv becoming the undisputed star of the evening.

The Joy of New Parenthood: An Indulgent Diwali

Adding a touch of relatability to the star-studded celebration, Lavanya Tripathi has humorously shared that post-delivery, she is fully embracing an indulgent Diwali, with no food restrictions. She admits to enjoying sweets more than ever, a true festive mood.

However, the real spectacle is witnessing the family's adoration for Vaayuv. The lighting of the traditional oil lamps, the vibrant colours of the rangoli, and the happy noise of the family conversations are all background to the soft gurgles of the newest Konidela. With traditional customs being honoured, delicious food shared, and love radiating from every corner of the room, little Vaayuv Tej has undoubtedly made this year’s Festival of Lights the brightest and most memorable one yet.
