Holi festivities were muted in the Bachchan household given the COVID-19 precautions. On Sunday night, actor Amitabh Bachchan had given us a peek into the Holika dahan ceremony at their residence and on Monday night, his daughter-in-law, actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, shared a few photos of the bonfire. The photos also feature daughter Aaradhya Bachchan. Holika dahan is celebrated on the night before the festival of colours. Aishwarya took to her Instagram handle and shared clicks from the Holi bonfire, or Holika, along with daughter Aaradhya playing with colours. In one of the photos, Aaradhya can be seen in a blue dress as she shows off her gulal-covered hands for the medium camera. “HAPPINESS, PEACE, GOOD HEALTH AND LOTS OF LOVE ALWAYS 🥰💖HAPPY HOLI ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖🌈✨” Aishwarya Rai wrote in her caption.
Amitabh also wrote a blog on how Holi lost most of its sheen this year given the surge in coronavirus cases, which forced people to stay at home. “The streets are silent, the drums and the singing of the celebrations remain muted, nothing moves. The festival is shrouded and the desolation among all,” the actor wrote. “This is not the festival we all grew up in, sang and danced and celebrated with all as equals, spent the entire day in the joys of togetherness and affection and embracing each other in the gratitude of the above, faces familiar, faces unfamiliar but the affection of joining in one big family immense.”
