Taking to his social media, Rajiv shared a heartfelt note inspired by his mother’s teachings. He wrote: “My Mother always tells me — Diwali and religious events on those days, don’t drink and don’t eat non-veg. Respect the time. That’s when God enters your home. Pray. Time for you to ask for forgiveness and blessings! Time to pray, not a time to get drunk! Shaadi nai hai, Bhagwan aaya hai. Never forget these are our holy days, not party days! Bhagavan ki Bhakti Karo. Unko Bhagao Mat".

Rajiv, known for his positive outlook and spiritual side, often uses his platform to inspire people to lead more mindful lives. His message this Diwali serves as a gentle reminder to celebrate responsibly and to remember why the festival is truly called the Festival of Lights — to bring light into our hearts, homes, and actions.
