Bollywood’s Diwali parties are legendary, blending glamour, tradition, and star power. From Amitabh Bachchan’s iconic Jalsa gatherings to Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat soirées, these celebrations have become cultural milestones. In 2025, the festive spirit continues with new hosts, dazzling décor, and unforgettable guest lists lighting up Mumbai’s social calendar.
Jalsa to Mannat: the legacy of star-studded celebrations
Diwali in Bollywood isn’t just a festival—it’s a spectacle. Over the years, megastars like Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan have turned their homes into hubs of celebration. Jalsa, the Bachchan residence, has hosted some of the most iconic Diwali nights, with appearances from A-listers including Katrina Kaif, Hrithik Roshan, and Anushka Sharma. These events are known for their traditional décor, gourmet spreads, and paparazzi-worthy fashion moments.
Mannat, Shah Rukh Khan’s sea-facing bungalow, has also been a Diwali hotspot. While 2025 sees no bash at Mannat due to personal commitments, past parties have featured dazzling setups curated by Gauri Khan and guest lists that read like Filmfare’s front page.
