Last year, the Bachchans celebrated the festivals with only family members.

Sharing the pictures, Amitabh Bachchan wrote: "Diwali ki anek anek shubhkamanayein ... aap sabhi ki Diwali shubh ho" while Aishwarya captioned her post: "Love and light always."
In 2017 also, the Bachchans had a low-key Diwali celebrations because of the death of Aishwarya's father Krishnaraj Rai, who died in February that year. Glimpses from the celebrations were shared by Big B on Twitter. One of the photos featured Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan sitting for the puja with folded hands while the other one featured Aishwarya, Abhishek and Aaradhya with Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan.
