While many wish their friends and families, others go to celebrate the festival.

On this day, apart from friends and family, celebrities extended their wishes to fans. Bollywood celebrities like Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor and Vivek Oberoi wished their fans. Meanwhile celebrities from South Indian film industry were not far behind either.
