The Bachchans kickstarted their Diwali celebrations by performing Lakshmi Puja at their Pratiksha Bungalow in Juhu on Thursday. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan and their daughter Aaradhya touched down in Mumbai just in time to celebrate the festival of lights with their family. Abhishek-Aishwarya were spotted exiting the Pratiksha Bungalow with their daughter in a car. Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan were pictured with their grandson Agastya Nanda in a separate car. The Bachchans opted for traditional outfits in pastel shades for the Lakshmi Puja. Aishwarya, who recently celebrated her 48th birthday, can be seen smiling while talking to her daughter in the car in one of the pictures clicked by the paparazzi.

"To the several that have sent wishes on this auspicious day, my gratitude and grace .. it shall be impossible to respond individually to all, so kindly take this as my thankful response," he wrote.
