Anindita Sinha, who plays Sumitra Mishra in Rahul Kumar Tewary and Rolling Tales Production’s Ram Bhavan on Colors TV, recently shared her thoughts on Holi, her love for the festival, and her cherished memories.
“If I have to describe myself in a colour, then it would be white because it can take any colour, and as an actor, I have to take different shades of life for my performance,” she expressed, highlighting the dynamic nature of her craft and the festival’s significance in her personal life.
For Anindita, Holi is more than just colours; it is about creating memories with family. “Every year, I create memories on Holi because I play Holi with my family, which consists of some 20 to 30 people. But I still remember my first Holi after marriage in Mumbai—we played Holi at my place and then went to Thane, with eight people squeezed into a Maruti Alto, to continue playing Holi with our relatives there.”
“I love playing with water. Without water, Holi seems incomplete,” Anindita shared enthusiastically. However, she also strongly opposes the use of water balloons. “Yes, yes! I am very much against water balloons. They can seriously harm anyone and cause severe damages.”

To ensure skin and hair protection during the festival, Anindita follows a strict pre-Holi routine. “I apply ample moisturiser on my body and oil my hair. My family prefers to play Holi with gulal only or the new-aged organic colours.”
While she doesn’t consider herself a foodie, Holi is an exception. “I am not a foodie, but on Holi, I look forward to maal pua, kathal ki sabzi, and dahi wada.”
With Holi around the corner, Anindita’s sentiments perfectly capture the essence of the festival—joy, tradition, and togetherness.
