Kriti Sanon reminisces of Traditional Holi's played during Childhood in Delhi!


Festive season is around the corner and everyone has found memories of Holi spent in their early days!

Kriti Sanon recalls celebrating Holi with her family in the Capital city.

Sharing that she enjoys the festival of Holi and is excited to celebrate the festival with her parents who are in Mumbai,the young actress says, “I have always loved Holi, But ever since I shifted to Mumbai [from Delhi], I haven’t played much. I don’t have the kind of friends circle here, like I had in Delhi. Plus, being an actor, I need to take care of my skin. Even though I don’t play Holi the way I used to back home, it’s still my favourite festival,” 

Reminiscing of her Holi's in Delhi, Kriti informed to having friends and family members gathering in a park in Patparganj, to celebrate the festival of colours.



Further giving details of her staple Holi's Kriti shares,“Before starting, my sister and I would oil each other’s hair. Then hit Holi songs would be played loudly all day,” she recalls, adding, “There would be pakoras and thandai for everyone. It used to take us an hour to wash the colours off.”

More than anything, it is the food that is an essential part of the festival for Kriti. “Eating gujiyas is a must for me every Holi. This year, my parents are in Mumbai, and my sister has also moved here. So, I am excited because we will all celebrate together,” she says.

Here's hoping Kriti spends the festival of colours in Mumbai with her dear family with as much as fun and frolic as her Delhi Holi day

Shahid goes Chameleon, again!



Shahid Kapoor, along with co-star Kangana Ranaut, director Vishal Bhardwaj and a braveheart unit, has just returned from a gruelling three-week schedule of Rangoon. 

The Casablanca-like love story is set during the Second World War, and producer Sajid Nadiadwala, managed a coup of sorts by getting permission to shoot in virgin locales of Arunachal Pradesh where the Indo-Burma border was recreated.

The crew was staying in a hotel in Rottung and while the locations are picture-perfect, the living conditions were at best spartan even for the stars. 

But neither of them complained, even though Kangana is playing a diva of the '40s. Even the nawab, Saif Ali Khan, who was down for a couple of days, soldiered through long drives to and between Pasighat, Rottung and Kibang, sometimes an eight nine-hour journey one way, and long treks through jungles.

Since the sun rises in the east, days dawned early and it was action from 4 am. But they also packed up early, around 4-5 pm, once the light faded. And as there wasn't much to do except for work, everyone would be in bed by 8 pm.

Shahid couldn't skip his workouts as he plays a soldier in the film and needed to be in peak physical condition for the action scenes. He's never been fitter.

Vishal Bharadwaj's Rangoon also marks Shahid's hatrick with the director who has already worked on 2 hit films previously! 


Rangoon is produced by filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala and features Shahid with Saif Ali Khan and Kangana Ranaut in lead roles. The film is all set to release on October 14, 2016.
