Shilpa Shetty is celebrating Diwali, the festival of lights, in India and to make sure everyone gets to join in on the celebrations, the Bollywood actress hands out Indian sweets to impoverished children.
"I now distribute food and sweets to poor children during the occasion," Shetty said, adding that she used to hand out firecrakcers instead. "It's unfair that they see everyone around wearing new clothes, having a great time while they continue to wonder why are they an exception!"
