Actress
Mahika
Sharma,
who
has
been
a
part
of
shows
like
F.I.R
and
Ramayana,
talks
about
her
childhood
memories
of
Holi.
She
says,
“I
remember
during
my
childhood,
Holi
was
never
a
one-day
affair.
Celebrations
used
to
start
a
week
in
advance
and
the
whole
locality
lived
under
the
delightful
terror
of
being
attacked
by
some
notorious
kids,
hiding
behind
parapets
and
staircases,
armed
with
water
balloons.
It
would
be
difficult
to
move
out.
Every
Holi,
I
used
to
buy
a
white
salwar
or
lehenga
with
a
colourful
dupatta.
It
was
so
much
fun
dressing
up.”
She
adds,
“Even
though
I
used
to
love
dressing
up
on
Holi,
I
would
never
really
enjoy
the
festival.
For
me,
it
was
just
a
ritual
to
get
dressed
up
because
I
was
scared
of
going
out
to
play.
People
with
colourful
faces
looked
scary
to
me
as
a
kid.
And
the
festival
would
come
at
the
time
of
our
examinations.
However,
when
I
shifted
to
Mumbai,
I
started
playing
Holi.
I
love
Holi
parties
here,
they
are
a
lot
of
fun.
I
make
sure
I
am
in
Mumbai
every
Holi.
This
year,
however,
I
will
stay
at
home
due
to
the
pandemic.”
