In my little chat with Deepshika, I discovered that Diamonds Day was also her deceased father’s birthday which made it extremely special for her.

The cutest was this yellow umbrella which was designed by one of Hardik’s friends for the occasion. I really enjoyed how each of the girls described their relationship with the stone and even spoke about the significance of such a day in their lives.
