TV and YouTube personality Lilly Singh hosted her annual Diwali celebration in Los Angeles over the weekend. The event featured several celebrities including Terry Crews, Jay Sean, Nora Fatehi, Guru Randhawa, Mindy Kaling, Ruby Rose, Tan France, Victoria Justice and Tesher. Actors Poorna Jagannathan and Richa Moorjani of the Netflix show ‘Never Have I Ever’ were seen on the dance floor in the video posted by Lilly.
Lilly, who shone in an ethnic outfit by designer duo Falguni Shane Peacock, took to Instagram to share a bunch of pictures and a video from the party. She captioned it, “Love and Light 2023… for the culture. It was a privilege to host a community filled with people who exude love and light. Because we need that more than ever. There are so many talented people who help bring my vision to life.”
The party seemed to be an extravagant affair featuring white decor with lots of string lights. Aerial dancers were also spotted. The food included Asian and Indian dishes as well as seafood and lots of desserts. Lilly wrote, “You all see that beautiful cake? That’s just how @somethingmeetha rolls. At the end of the party, there wasn’t a single dessert left because people devoured them.”
She also wrote, “After the party, so many people texted me saying “your family and friends are so warm and welcoming,” and that makes me really proud. I’ve been to one too many events in my life where I walked in and immediately felt awkward. I felt this pressure to put on an act and find acceptance. That’s the opposite of what I want this annual event to be. Whether this is your 30th Diwali, or your first, this party will always be about unity, warmth and inclusion. That good, good energy is mandatory. Grateful for these moments. This is love.”
