Jyothi Venkatesh

Rrahul Sudhir who plays the role of Vedant Tripathi in Zee TV's Rajaa Betaa said, " Holi is hands down one of the most fun festivals that we celebrate with much fervour.  It’s full of colour, music, dance, food and is a joyous occasion to get together with your family and loved ones. I would like to urge everyone to play organic and safe holi while enjoying every moment to the fullest.

Sambhabana Mohanty who plays the role of Poorva in Zee TV’s Rajaa Betaa said, “I love festivals because that is the only time that I get to cheat on my diet. Holi is special not only because of the delicious food but also because it’s such a colourful festival where everyone dances to peppy Bollywood Holi songs. This year, I will be in Jaipur shooting with the cast of my show Rajaa Betaa and we are planning a small celebration on the sets with the entire cast and crew. I would like to wish all my fans and well-wishers a very happy and safe Holi.”

Ankit Siwach who plays the role of Ram in Zee TV's Manmohini said, " The festival of Holi brings in a lot of positive vibes, excitement and fun with all the colour-smearing, water guns which helps spread love and cheer. I belong to North India and having bhang during Holi is like a tradition. I remember once I had bhang and I slept through the entire festival. After that, I ate 10 large aloo parathas and dozed off again. That was one of the best Holis.”

Vrushika Mehta who plays the role of Asmita in Zee TV’s Yeh Teri Galiyaan said, “Holi is one of the most revered festivals of our country and we celebrate it back home in Ahmedabad wherein the entire family gets together and plays with colours. The entire atmosphere is painted with all kinds of colours and you just can’t stop yourselves from pulling some pranks and playing around. I am going to miss Holi celebrations back home but I am going to celebrate it by playing with my friends and eating yummy Gujiyas.  Happy Holi to everyone!

Reyhna Pandit who plays the role of Mohini in Zee TV’s Manmohini said, “This year, I will be celebrating Holi with my friends and family in Mumbai. We are planning a Bollywood themed party with yummy food and colours. It will be playing eco-friendly Holi with organic colours and will try not indulge in water wastage.  I would like to wish all my fans a happy and safe Holi!

Eisha Singh who plays Zara in Zee TV’s Ishq Subhan Allah said, “Holi is one of my favourite festivals as it brings in a lot of happiness and fun.  I fondly remember my childhood days when the entire family would come together the night before to light the Holika pyre and with that, we would destroy all the negativity within us too. Every holi, I indulge in delicious sweets and samosa and spend quality time with my family. I hope this time too, I can get to celebrate Holi with them. I would like to wish all my fans a very happy, peaceful and safe Holi.”

Sanjay Gagnani who plays Prithvi in Zee TV’s Kundali Bhagya said, “ I celebrate every festival with equal enthusiasm but holi is one of my favourites. I worship goddess Holika on the day of Holi after which we all get together and play with organic colours. I think organic colours are a great invention, easy to remove and not harmful in any way.  It’s a boon for actors like me who can play Holi without bothering about the after effects. I spend every Holi dancing and gorging on amazing delicacies. As a child, I used to throw balloons at people and celebrate by eating a lot of jalebis. Lastly, I would like to wish all a Happy Holi. Spread love, spread smiles.”

Ankit Vyas who plays Rizwaan in Zee TV’s Ishq Subhan Allah said, “Holi is the festival of colours and I personally love the concept of organic holi. I remember, once I damaged my hair severely due to the synthetic colours used and since then, I have been playing Holi only with natural colours. I am a big foodie and looking forward to having yummy sweets especially jalebi and gujiyas. May this holi remove all the darkness and negativity inside us and make our lives happy and colourful. Happy Holi to all!”

Poorva Gokhale who plays Anupriya in Zee TV’s Tujhse Hai Raabta said, “Every year during Holi, I visit my parent’s house and our entire family, cousins and friends come together to celebrate the festival. We prefer playing dry holi and using organic colours so we can all enjoy a peaceful holi. Moreover, we indulge in some yummy traditional food and have lunch together. We should play holi without causing any nuisance and damage and should enjoy the positivity of the festival. Lastly, I would urge everyone to avoid wasting water and would like to wish you all a safe and happy holi!”

Adnan Khan who plays Kabir in Zee TV’s Ishq Subhan Allah said, “The vibrancy of colours is something that brings in a lot of positivity in our lives and Holi is actually a day worth rejoicing. I remember, as a kid I used to cry because the colors used to hurt my eyes. That’s when I decided that its time we celebrate Holi in a more safe way and I prefer playing it with organic colours.  I would like to wish everyone a very happy holi. Be safe and have lots of fun!

Nishant Singh Malkani who plays the role of Akshat Jindal in Zee TV’s Guddan… Tumse Na Ho Payega said, “The celebration of Holi goes beyond just playing with colours, it’s about celebrating and getting together with our family members. It’s become a ritual to dance to Bollywood songs especially ‘Do me a favour let’s play Holi every year, it just boosts my energy. On this Holi, even in our show Guddan we have a Holi celebrations special episode which is a mix bag of  a lots of drama and fun which for which we recently shot in Goa. Playing Holi on the beach was such an amazing experience.  I would like to request everyone to not use water and play safe Holi with organic colours.”

Kanika Mann who plays the role of Guddan in Zee TV’s Guddan… Tumse Na Ho Payega said, “This Holi will be special as I am in Mumbai and I will enjoy the festival with my friends. Celebrations are already in full swing in our show Guddan as we recently wrapped up the Holi Special sequence which we shot for in Goa. Holi celebrations are incomplete without dancing to the song ‘Rang Barse’. I remember having lot of Gujhiyas and Malpuas as a child and I still love it. I would like to tell all my fans to fill their lives with the beautiful colours this Holi and be safe.’
