Mumbai: As gulal fills the air and laughter echoes in every lane, Holi once again reminds us that colours are not just for faces, but for hearts too. This festival has a magical way of breaking barriers, creating bonds, and turning ordinary moments into lifelong memories. Sun Neo’s talented actors share their most beautiful Holi memories and what this festival truly means to them.
Kushagre Dua, who plays Grav in Prathaon ki Odhe Chunri: Beendani, believes Holi is about togetherness and forming new connections. He says, “ What I love most about Holi is that it brings people together, even strangers. On this day, we meet new people and naturally form bonds with them, unlike in daily life when we stay busy with our own work and friends. Holi helps create new connections and spreads joy and colour everywhere. One of my most memorable Holi moments is from childhood. My younger brother and I used to fill water and colour balloons the night before and keep them in a tub so we could attack early in the morning. We would work till 1 or 2 a.m., planning in advance to be ready while others were still filling balloons. Those memories are priceless. Every year, I celebrate Holi with close friends in Mumbai from afternoon till evening, using only gulal or organic colours. This year, I’ll be shooting for Prathaon Ki Odhe Chunri: Beendani, so I must be careful and may miss celebrating with my friends.”
For Akash Khadelwal, who plays Shaurya in Satyaa Sachee, Holi is deeply rooted in his birthplace and childhood, “Holi has always been very special to me because I was born in Mathura, where Holi is world famous and celebrated in a unique way. For us, it was never just a one-day festival. The excitement would start almost a month before Holi. As children, we used to throw water balloons at strangers, and everyone took it in a fun and sporting spirit. People were more patient and the festive feeling was stronger and more welcoming. I have also experienced Lath Maar Holi, which I feel very lucky about. The whole village would come together at night with great energy and excitement. It can hurt a little sometimes, but the fun, madness, and joy of celebrating together make it completely worth it.”

It is a time to come together with my elders, cousins, nephews, and niece for our traditional terrace party. Every year, there is music, laughter, and colours all around, but the best part is the feeling of togetherness. No matter how busy we are in our daily lives, on Holi we make sure to be there for each other. We always celebrate Holi at my Bade Paapa’s house, on the terrace. I clearly remember one year when my dad suddenly gathered all of us and started singing loudly. We all joined him and repeated the lines after him. We were sitting in a circle, covered in colours, and it felt like a jagran had started instead of a Holi party! It was funny, chaotic, and full of love. That is a memory I will always cherish.”
