Bollywood Stars Share Their Unique New Year Celebrations

Celebrating the New Year in Style

As the New Year approaches, Bollywood stars are preparing to ring it in with their own distinctive styles. Some are opting for serene retreats, while others plan to celebrate with loved ones in a cozy and heartfelt manner. A few will kick off the year amidst work obligations, while others choose to reflect on the past year surrounded by nature and travel.

Kritika Kamra

I’m heading to Jaisalmer to welcome the New Year. My friends and I are craving some winter sunshine and clean air! Rajasthan offers everything from delicious cuisine to vibrant culture and exceptional hospitality.

Shweta Tripathi

I enjoy surprises, so I traveled to Jaisalmer to surprise the cast and crew of Mirzapur. After my time there, I’m off to Phuket, Thailand, with friends. I’ll be starting my New Year celebrations a bit early since I have a shoot in Bhopal, but my husband Cheeta will join me to celebrate at one of Bhopal’s stunning heritage sites.

Parul Gulati

This New Year, I’m keeping things low-key in Tbilisi. I plan to stroll through any remaining Christmas markets, try ice-skating, enjoy hot chocolate, and simply relax. I’m eager to welcome the New Year feeling refreshed and present.

Gulshan Devaiah

I intend to spend some quiet time alone—cooking a nice meal, taking naps, catching up on scripts, and finally making some small decisions I’ve been postponing.

Abhishek Banerjee

My wife Tina and I are excited to welcome the New Year at our new home in Goa, and we’ll be joined by Divyendu Sharma and his wife for the celebrations.

Saiee M Manjrekar

This New Year, I’m returning to Matheran with close friends—a place that feels like home. I’ve visited since childhood, and it has become a part of my identity. Matheran’s peaceful atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to welcome the New Year, embracing simplicity and cherished memories.

Adivi Sesh

I’ll be celebrating the New Year in a unique way—filming a crucial climax scene of Dacoit on a remote rocky mountain. With no cell service and complete darkness, it’s a rare form of isolation, but we’ll enjoy the fresh air and the raw energy of nature—an unforgettable way to enter the New Year.

Saiyami Kher

New Year is always a family affair for me. We usually have a bonfire, barbecue, and camp outside. This year, I want to kick things off on a high note with a morning run, followed by our usual festivities—food, desserts, music, and games.

Adarsh Gourav

I’m heading to Goa with my partner to celebrate the New Year. We both adore the beach and the vibrant atmosphere, making Goa the ideal place for our festivities.

Priyanshu Painyuli

My New Year’s plan is to spend quality time with family, setting goals for the upcoming year. Instead of celebrating on the night of the 31st, Vandana and I want to welcome the first morning of 2026 with a fresh and healthy start, focusing on personal growth.

Vishal Jethwa

I’ve always celebrated New Year with my family, and being together at the start of a new year is truly special. It’s a reminder of our bond as we welcome each year together. I prefer quiet celebrations, either at home or out together, rather than extravagant parties. This year is different, though, as my mother is in London enjoying her holiday, and I miss her dearly since it’s my first New Year without her.

Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia

This New Year will be different for me as I’ll be on set in Bhopal, working on my upcoming project. It’s my first time working on New Year’s, but it feels fulfilling. Being surrounded by the cast and crew while doing what I love brings me joy and purpose. There’s no better way to enter the New Year than with work, learning, and gratitude.
