Iconic star Amitabh Bachchan recalls the best days that he had played during the festival of colours-Holi. He calls it the time when the Hindi film fraternity members used to losing their status and position to become one for fun.
Amitabh shared some personal photographs of his past celebrations of the festival, he captions it saying: "It was such innocent and fun times" Just gangs of friends enjoying.. Losing their status and position to become one with us and all.. Such a humbling feel. Now.. Well I don't know, everything has become so.. Ah forget it.. Love to all and happy holi." He also writes to say, "The best ones were played at Allahabad when I was very young and Father was in University teaching in the English department. The students would all come over and over ribald songs and music our homes were a flush of great camaraderie and happiness. Delhi, was a little subdued, because it invariably fell in March when it was still quite cold and the water was a most unwelcome commodity, but Kolkata it was a rage then.
Amitabh also shares the Holi celebrations in Mumbai, "The film industry and the best Holi celebrations at the RK Studios of Shri Raj Kapoor, where the entire industry assembled. They were massive and grand and fun and just full of all that Holi celebrations desired.. Dunk-coloured water ponds and tubs, masses of dry colour and the wet all over.. Bands and music groups from all parts of the country playing non-stop.. Gallons of bhang', the traditional drink and the traditional gujiya' to eat."
Finally he adds to say, "But we have not celebrated it to that extent for some years now .. deaths in the family and illnesses have prevented us .. but I think it is time to restart it all over again .. perhaps next year."
WOW!!! Sir.. we really wish those days come back again!!! And we see the whole industry with full josh.
