Mumbai:
Actor
Hrithik
Roshan
has
decided
to
stay
away
from
Holi
celebrations
in
view
of
the
prevailing
water
shortage
in
Maharashtra.
The
39-year-old
will
not
waste
water
by
being
part
of
the
Holi
celebrations.
"Hrithik
won't
be
celebrating
Holi
as
a
mark
of
solidarity
with
those
who
are
suffering
from
acute
water
shortage
in
Maharashtra.
Instead,
he
will
only
use
only
a
small
amount
of
gulaal
to
apply
a
shagun
tika
as
part
of
the
traditional
ritual," a
source
said.
The
actor
is
also
said
to
have
decided
not
to
play
with
too
much
of
dry
gulaal,
as
washing
it
off
requires
a
lot
of
water.
"Like
Hrithik,
even
the
other
members
of
the
Roshan
family
will
keep
the
celebrations
low-key.
They
will
take
part
in
the
morning
puja
and
then
spend
some
quiet
time
together,"
the
source
said.
