As
the
entire
country
gets
set
to
rejoice
in
the
abundance
of
colour
during
the
festival
of
Holi,
ALT
Balaji
too
is
celebrating
love
and
friendship
with
different
shades
of
entertainment.
While
some
have
their
big
Holi
parties
and
plans
for
the
festival,
some
might
want
to
keep
it
a
low-key
affair
with
their
close
ones.
One
thing's
for
sure,
when
it
comes
to
Holi,
each
one
of
us
has
a
favorite
memory
attached
to
the
festival
of
colours.
As
the
stars
of
ALTBalaji
revel
in
the
Holi
celebrations,
here
are
what
some
of
our
favourite
actors
have
to
share
about
Holi
along
with
their
plans
for
the
day.
Shilpa
Shukla,
who
is
a
part
of
ALTBalaji's
Mentalhood
releasing
on
March
11,
said,
"Since
childhood,
I
have
not
been
an
avid
fan
of
Holi,
but
have
been
excited
nevertheless
given
the
infectious
celebrations
that
it
brings!
Coming
from
Bihar,
the
festival
is
also
important
as
it
marks
the
beginning
of
the
New
Year
cycle.
I
have
always
liked
the
traditional
aspect
of
the
festival,
people
coming
together
and
celebrating
rather
than
wasting
water
and
colours.
Also,
Mentalhood
launching
just
around
Holi
makes
this
festival
even
more
special
for
me.
I
have
so
many
memories
associated
with
the
festival.
In
my
village,
we
play
all
kinds
of
Holi
and
sing
Holi
songs
prior
to
a
month
of
the
festival
and
we
call
this
celebration
Faguaa.
It's
a
very
heartening
thing
that
happens
in
Bihar
where
we
put
mikes
and
the
entire
village
comes
together
to
sing
songs
from
Ramayana,
songs
between
Ram,
Sita,
Laxman,
and
these
are
my
beautiful
memories
of
the
festival."
Actress
Shruti
Seth,
who
is
a
part
of
ALTBalaji's
Mentalhood
releasing
on
March
11,
said,
"In
the
light
of
the
CoronaVirus,
Holi
celebrations
are
being
suspended
so
I
am
just
going
to
be
at
home,
enjoying
lunch
with
my
family.
When
we
were
much
younger,
I
was
annoyed
with
washing
colors
away.
I
used
to
play
in
my
building
society
and
when
I
used
to
come
back,
my
mother
could
not
recognize
me.
It's
been
a
long
while
since
I
played
Holi
like
that.
It's
now
been
something
a
lot
more
muted
and
people
have
become
more
conscious
of
water
wastage,
skin
allergies,
a
lot
of
emphasis
is
given
on
organic
colors
etc.
Now
for
me
also,
it's
become
more
of
a
family
and
friends
gathering,
and
less
about
the
actual
Holi
play."
Tusshar
Kapoor,
who
was
last
seen
in
ALTBalaji's
BOOO...Sabki
Phategi,
said,
"As
a
child,
my
fondest
memory
of
Holi
is
of
playing
with
building
friends
since
early
morning.
That
was
one
day
where
we
were
allowed
to
make
a
ruckus
and
have
a
blast
without
much
restrictions.
We
use
to
play
Holi
with
water
and
would
love
to
splash
it
over
our
friends.
Over
the
years,
the
meaning
of
Holi
for
me
has
changed.
It
is
not
about
getting
messy
anymore
but
being
cautious
about
our
resources
like
water
and
the
environment.
I
urge
everybody
to
play
dry
Holi
so
we
save
on
water
and
with
eco-friendly
colours.
We
must
also
ensure
that
while
we
are
reveling,
our
animal
friends
on
the
streets
are
not
harmed.
It's
the
time
to
share
joy
and
happiness
but
without
harming
the
environment
and
animals."
Actor
Tanuj
Virwani,
who
was
seen
in
ALTBalaji's
Code
M,
said,
"Holi
is
one
of
my
favourite
festivals
ever
since
I
was
a
child-
the
colours,
the
pichkaris,
the
water
balloons,
everything.
I
want
to
wish
all
of
you
a
very
happy
and
colorful
Holi.
Play
to
your
heart's
content
but
also
play
safe.
Don't
use
colours
with
chemicals
in
them
as
they
are
very
harmful.
Go
organic
instead."
