From pumpkins to pranks and communication with the dead, Halloween is a patchwork holiday stitched together with religious and occult traditions that span across centuries. Every year October 31 is celebrated as the Halloween day which marks the end of the harvest season with a festival called Soin. It also marked the Celtic New Year and was considered a time between years, a magical time when the ghosts of the dead walked the earth. On the occasion of the festival, many took to social media and shared how they celebrated by dressing up in spooky attires. Our Bollywood celebs were not behind in doing the same and glimpses of the same were shared by stars like Anushka Sharma, Soha Ali Khan and others on their respective Instagram handles.
Ahead of India's T20 World Cup Super 12 fixture against New Zealand on Sunday, several Indian players along with their wives and kids celebrated Halloween. Taking to Instagram Story, Anushka shared a string of images from their low-key Halloween party in the UAE. In the pictures, we can see Anushka and Indian skipper Virat Kohli's daughter Vamika, dressed as a fairy with other cricketers' children -- including Rohit Sharma's daughter, R Ashwin's daughters and Hardik Pandya's son. "Happy Halloween from this cute bunch," Anushka captioned the image.
