Why wishes for your boss read differently
A boss sits above you, so the register is reverent, not chummy: sincere, a little formal, focused on respect and gratitude rather than closeness. Acknowledge their guidance or leadership, wish their family well, and avoid jokes or over-familiarity that a peer would enjoy but a senior may not.
In Hindi this is non-negotiable: always **आप** (aap), the respectful “you” — **never तुम** (tum), which is for friends and juniors and reads as disrespectful to a senior. A safe, warm-professional opener is “आदरणीय … आपको दिवाली की शुभकामनाएँ” (aadaraniya … aapko Diwali ki shubhkamnayein). The honorific (Sir/Ma’am, जी, आदरणीय) raises the formality another notch.
This is the top of the formality scale. For a colleague you can relax it a little (see Diwali wishes for colleagues); for a brother or friend you drop it entirely. Matching the register to the relationship is exactly what makes a wish land.
