Alia Bhatt posted picture holding a candle on Instagram and wrote: "When I was younger I would kiss my dad on his forehead before going off to school and after every kiss he would say " Aaaaaah .. light aa gayi. I might have not fully understood what it meant back then.. but because of his response I understood that light has wayyyyyy more depth than just illuminating our lives. Light means so much. It's hope, beauty, strength.. today it was unity.. But no matter where we are and what we are going through we must always try and keep the light within us alive."
 
Katrina Kaif shared a beautiful photo where she is standing on her terrace with four or five candles lit in front of her. The actress captioned: "May it be a light to you in dark places when all other lights go out (LOTR)."
 
 
 
 
Kangana Ranaut and Bhumi Pednekar were also among the stars who posted videos.
 
Sharing a photo where she can be seen standing with her eyes closed with a candle in her hand, Kriti Sanon wrote: "Because it's always a good time to pray. For love, health and happiness. #weareinthistogether #LetThereBeLight."
 
Veteran actress Hema Malini shared a beautiful video message where she can be seen lighting diyas and saying in Hindi: "We have to be united to destroy this coronavirus. The entire nation is lighting diyas tonight following the instructions of Modi ji. I am happy to take part in this ritual."
