Sameer Patil Shares His Diwali Plans: “The Warmth of Being Close to Family Is What Makes the Festival Special”

Diwali is a season to cherish traditions, celebrate togetherness, and build lasting memories with loved ones. For actor Sameer Patil, who currently features in Studio LSD’s popular daily drama ‘Tumm Se Tumm Tak’, the festival of lights is all about embracing simple moments with family, friends, and his extended unit on set.

Preferring intimate gatherings over loud, grand festivities, Sameer highlights how connecting with his close circle and working family truly recharges his spirit.

Simple Traditions and Set Family Celebrations

Reflecting on his personal festive plans, Sameer shares:

"For me, Diwali has always been about the warmth of being close to your family. I’m not really someone who leans towards loud, extravagant festivities. I find joy in simpler traditions. Sitting down with family, lighting up the house with diyas and decorations, sharing food and just catching up without looking at the clock is what recharges me. That said, the festive spirit is incomplete without friends, so we will definitely have our close circle coming over to share sweets, laughter and cheer."

For daily soap actors operating on demanding shoot schedules, festivals naturally extend to the production sets as well. Speaking about celebrating with his cast and crew, Sameer adds:

"When you’re doing a daily routine on a show, work becomes a second home and the unit becomes family. While managing dates and tight call times can get hectic, Diwali brings an energy that naturally cuts through any fatigue. We will definitely have a celebration on the sets of Tumm Se Tumm Tak. It’s always special to share that festive warmth with the people you spend twelve hours a day creating stories with."

 Gratitude for 'Tumm Se Tumm Tak' and Ambitions for Directorial Venture

Looking back at his journey, the actor considers Tumm Se Tumm Tak to be his greatest blessing of the year, expressing deep appreciation for the creative satisfaction and accolades the role has brought him.

"My biggest blessing this year has been Tumm Se Tumm Tak. An actor spends years looking for characters that challenge them creatively and resonate genuinely with the audience. This show gave me creative fulfilment, love and recognition with awards, which I am deeply thankful to God and our viewers for."

Looking toward the future, Sameer is gearing up to expand his creative horizons beyond television. Expressing his ambition to step behind the camera, he reveals:

"Looking ahead to the coming year, professionally, I’m eager to push my craft further by taking on compelling roles across films and dynamic web spaces. I am also working towards rolling out my directorial venture in Hindi cinema. Personally, I just want to protect this peace of mind, stay grounded and continue telling stories that leave a mark."
