The festival of lights, Diwali, is synonymous with vibrant attire, twinkling diyas, and, of course, a lavish spread of traditional Indian sweets, or mithai. However, this year, power couple Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna offered a delightfully healthy and humorous twist to their celebrations while in London. Dressed impeccably in their festive best, the duo celebrated the spirit of the occasion not with the usual calorie-laden laddoos but with a simple, Vitamin C-packed fruit, proving that the essence of a festival lies in togetherness, not just in sugar.

All Dressed Up, But No Mithai in Sight

Twinkle Khanna, known for her sharp wit and candid social media presence, gave her followers a peek into their transatlantic Diwali celebration. The pictures shared online showed the couple radiating elegance in traditional Indian wear. Akshay Kumar looked dapper in a subtly embroidered kurta, while Twinkle stunned in a soft pink patiala style outfit, her look complete with a traditional gajra in her hair.

Yet, despite being perfectly attired for a grand celebration, Twinkle’s accompanying caption revealed a charmingly relatable festive challenge. She quipped that they were "all dressed up with no mithai in sight," highlighting the difficulty of sourcing authentic sweets when celebrating abroad.

The Vitamin C Swap: Oranges are the New Laddoos

Faced with a sweet-free situation, the couple embraced a witty, health-conscious alternative. Twinkle jokingly announced they were "behaving like oranges are the new laddoos and sharing some Vitamin C loaded sweetness." A truly adorable photograph accompanying the post showed the couple sharing a laugh as Twinkle playfully fed Akshay a segment of the citrus fruit.

This lighthearted substitution quickly resonated with fans, who appreciated the couple's simple, down-to-earth approach. It beautifully showcased that for them, the joy of Diwali is less about indulgent treats and more about sharing moments of happiness and fun with family—even if the sweetness comes from nature itself.

A Promise of 'Real Mithai' at the Temple

For those worried the star couple might miss out entirely on the beloved traditional flavours, Twinkle offered a hopeful post-script. Her caption concluded with the plan for a "Temple visit next with real mithai."

This final detail grounded their celebration in tradition, confirming their intention to observe the rituals fully. While the initial moments at home were playfully adapted to their location and healthy lifestyle, a visit to the temple promises the ceremonial sweetness that forms an integral part of the Festival of Lights. The entire episode serves as a fresh and modern take on celebrating culture—a perfect blend of family values, infectious humour, and a commitment to health, even when miles away from home.
