Before their temple visit, Twinkle Khanna had also shared pictures offering fans a glimpse into their Diwali celebrations. The images captured her feeding an orange to Akshay Kumar while enjoying one herself.
"Diwali in London. All dressed up with no mithai in sight. So behaving like oranges are the new laddoos and sharing some Vitamin C loaded sweetness. Temple visit next with real mithai. Happy Diwali to everyone and may your world be filled with light, love and laughter," she wrote.
