Vrindavan
(Uttar
Pradesh),
(ANI):
Bollywood
actor
vivek
oberoi
celebrated
the
festival
of
colours
'Holi'
with
the
poor
and
the
destitute
children
in
Vrindavan,
near
Mathura.
Oberoi
played
Holi
along
with
the
underprivileged
children
in
a
traditional
manner
using
flowers
and
colours.
Claiming
to
have
played
Holi
for
the
first
time,
the
actor
said
that
he
enjoyed
celebrating
the
festival
with
those
children.
"I
really
liked
it.
I
played
Holi
for
the
first
time
in
my
life.
Today
I
really
enjoyed
playing
it
with
flowers
along
with
these
children.
They
applied
colours
on
me
and
make
me
dance
on
the
banks
of
river
Yamuna.
Even
I
played
with
them
and
applied
colours
to
them," said
Oberoi.
"Instead
of
giving
assurances
and
making
never
ending
promises,
I
felt
that
if
I
can
make
some
difference
in
these
children's
lives,
then
what
better
than
that
feeling.
There
is
no
point
in
making
promises.
One
should
actually
do
something," he
added.
The
actor
even
watched
special
dance
performances
and
cultural
programs
presented
to
him
by
these
children.
All
the
children
seemed
excited
to
have
their
favourite
actor
beside
them,
who
kept
chatting
with
them
for
hours.
This
year
'Holi'
will
be
celebrated
on
February
28
and
March
1.
Holi
is
a
festival
of
joy,
mirth
and
buoyancy,
and
is
celebrated
when
both
man
and
nature
cast
off
the
winter
gloom.
Holi
heralds
the
arrival
of
spring,
the
season
of
hope
and
new
beginnings
and
arks
the
rekindling
of
the
spirit
of
life.
