Nora Fatehi:

There’s a Diwali bash happening in London, then there’s one in New York, one in Mumbai, and even one in Dubai. It’s literally like bus, bus, club, another club, no sleep, no sleep! That’s exactly what it feels like, I swear to God. You know, you get FOMO—you don’t want to miss out.

Oh, hi Billboard! It’s your girl Nora Fatehi, and you’re joining me as I get ready for the All That Glitters Diwali Ball. Are you ready? Come on, let’s go! How am I feeling today? Well, I’m totally jet-lagged. I just hopped off a flight straight from London into this hotel room, ready to glam up. Sure, I’m tired, but I’m actually super excited. This is the second time I’m attending the All That Glitters Diwali bash. I was here last year, but back then I was performing. Happy Diwali to everyone! This year, I get to actually have fun and party. Last year was so much pressure—I was so nervous! I had just recovered from severe ankle injuries, and it was my first performance since my recovery. It was a lot, but the reception and excitement from the audience were amazing. Just to see Anjula Acharia work the room and bring so many people under one roof was incredible. It wasn’t just a room full of South Asians—everyone was there. It was a really special moment where I felt like people were coming together, and it felt so sentimental. I’m so excited to meet everyone and see everyone’s outfits tonight. I feel like that’s one of the highlights of this ball—the incredible looks. This is the time of year when you truly feel like everyone is coming together. Diwali is all about celebrating light over evil and darkness; it symbolizes the beginning of light. Right now, with everything happening in the world, it’s such an important moment to celebrate positivity, lightness, gratitude, and togetherness. It’s something I don’t want to miss. I’ve lived in India for 10 years, and every year we celebrate Diwali. It’s such a beautiful tradition!
