Known for his versatile roles, Sharad Kelkar has a profound perspective on Diwali, stemming partly from his recent portrayal of the character Ravan in Disney+ Hotstar’s The Legend of Hanuman. For actor Sharad Kelkar, Diwali is more than just a festival; it’s a powerful reminder of the victory of good over evil.

Reflecting on the virtues of Ram, he shares how embodying Ravan gave him insights into the character of Ram, who, through his strength and morality, stands as an emblem of goodness. “For me, Diwali is a timely reminder that goodness has the final say over evil,” he says, emphasizing the festival’s spiritual impact on him.

Sharad enjoys Diwali by keeping it traditional and close to family. Celebrations in his household revolve around time spent with loved ones, relishing homemade treats like ‘puran poli,’ ‘desi ghee ke laddoo,’ and other festive sweets. The evening centers around a small, heartfelt pooja, a gathering that he says fills everyone with gratitude and hope for the coming year. This year, he looks forward to more of the same, focusing on togetherness and positivity.

Professionally, Kelkar has carved out a unique space with his voice acting, adding depth to animated epics and bringing layered characters like Ravan to life. As a dedicated actor, Kelkar’s devotion to his craft and cultural values shine brightly. As he celebrates this Diwali, Kelkar hopes everyone embraces the festival with optimism, lighting not only their homes but also spreading joy and hope to others. Wishing everyone a bright Diwali, he encourages a celebration that reflects the true spirit of the festival—hope, goodness, and light for all.
