New Delhi: They lit up sparklers with childlike joy, added colour to a rangoli, tried their luck at cards and gorged on food—Bollywood stars Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone were in a festive and playful mood for Diwali.

The ‘Tamasha’ actors were in the capital on the eve of Diwali on Tuesday night to celebrate an evening of fun, frolic and festivity with select mediapersons.

Deepika looked elegant in a beige and red sari by designer Payal Jain, while Ranbir sported a dashing look in a maroon kurta pyjama with a black printed Nehru jacket by Rohit Bal.

They looked relaxed and were all smiles to light up diyas and ‘phool jhadis’; tried their luck at a game of cards and wished everyone a happy and prosperous Diwali.

On Diwali day, Deepika said she will be with her family members in Bengaluru, and then be back in Mumbai in time to attend the annual party hosted by megastar Amitabh Bachchan.

Ranbir too is excited about the festival, and said he would follow his family’s annual customs which involves going to the R.K. Studios and conducting a puja. He too will attend Big B’s bash at night.

The actors are caught in the midst of promoting their forthcoming film ‘Tamasha’, directed by Imtiaz Ali. Interestingly, despite their split, the off screen chemistry between Deepika and Ranbir continues to be as amazing as their on screen camaraderie.

They joked, laughed, gave each other hi-fives and looked absolutely at ease in each other’s company.
