In this episode of Girl Talk DXB explore how Diwali — once defined by simplicity, togetherness, and tradition — has evolved into a festival marked by luxury, technology, and social media visibility.

From handmade sweets, family gatherings, and clay diyas to curated gifts, online shopping sprees, and Instagram-perfect décor, Diwali celebrations have transformed dramatically over the decades.

The discussion dives into what this change means for the younger generation — and whether the festival’s essence of light, gratitude, and connection is getting lost amid the spectacle.

“Is Diwali becoming more about the show than the soul?” the hosts ask, reflecting on how cultural shifts, modern lifestyles, and global exposure have reshaped how people celebrate the festival of lights.

The episode concludes with a hopeful reminder that even as traditions evolve, the heart of Diwali — love, light, and family — remains timeless.

Tune in to Girl Talk DXB for an honest conversation on nostalgia, family, and the balance between old values and new expressions of celebration.
