Spending a colourful day with family and friends and gorging on goodies is what's on the mind for Bollywood actors like Ayushmann Khurrana and Nawazuddin Siddiqui on Holi on Friday, while those like Bipasha Basu and Tiger Shroff plan to keep distance from the revelry.
Here are the actors' plans:
Sushant Singh Rajput: It's going to be a dirty Holi for me. I'll be with my soul-mate Ankita and my close friends in Lavasa.
Nimrat Kaur: I'll be at a rain-dance party. It is being hosted by two friends who were recently married. It's their first Holi as a married couple. We'll have loads of fun, and only with organic colours.
Ayushmann Khurrana: Holi is food, fun, dance and frolic with close friends at a farm house in Chandigarh. This is the only festival when people who are in the public eye can venture out and have fun because nobody recognises you when your face looks like graffiti.
Tiger Shroff: I don't play Holi. But I want to keep working hard to add colours to my parents' lives.
Bipasha Basu: I've no Holi plans. I'm allergic to colours.
Tapsee Pannu: I'm not really a huge fan of the way this festival is celebrated in this country. It is an excuse for people to do a lot of stuff I don't really find fun. I've got a box of organic 'gulaal' (colour) which we shall play with at home in peace with my sister and a few friends. Then I might go out with my sister in the evening for a good dinner and a movie celebrating the holiday.
Nawazuddin Siddiqui: I'll be enjoying myself with my friends.
Arjun Rampal: I'll be enjoying with family and friends. I guess that's what the rest of the country will be doing.
Ali Fazal: Instead Of Holi I'm getting ready to play my role this time. We just might skip the colours this Holi. But I suspect at some point during the day my house will be taken over and I'll be forced out into a rain dance.
Kriti Sanon: I will be celebrating Holi with my friends in Mumbai this year.I will miss celebrating with my family. But will hopefully get some 'gujiya' (sweet) delivered at home.
Rajkummar Rao: I'm in the middle of shooting for Aligarh with Hansal Mehta. So I guess I'll skip Holi this year.
