Sonam Kapoor, who has always been known to be the utmost fashionista, surprised one and all by posting the adjoining splash of red colour on the social media. While one expected her to be in her impeccable best for Holi, Sonam Kapoor posted the following, which spoke about the importance of the colour red. She wrote, "Red is the colour associated with the Goddess. Lakshmi wears red. Durga wears red. Red is blood. Red is menstrual fluid. It is the colour of the earth before the rains. It is the colour of life and fertility. Kumkum is the red colour made using saffron or turmeric. Sindoor is the red of the setting sun obtained on earth from cinnabar (lead oxide). These are worn by men as tilak and by women as bindi. These are the colours to smear images of Ganesha and Hanuman. Then there is Abir and Gulal, hurled into the sky, during the festival of Holi.. (they) all point to Holi being an ancient fertility festival....Only now a dirty industrial pink has overshadowed the blood red, and oil paints have replaced organic dyes, and balloons and piston ‘pichkari’ have replaced fistfuls of dry colour powder.
Devdutt's interpretation of Holi is a refreshing take on the most colorful festival in Hindu mythology!! #HappyHoli”.
The stunning Ileana D’Cruz, who will be soon seen in the much awaited film Mubarakan, took this opportunity to wish everyone “Holi Mubarakan” with the team of the film. ‘Team Mubarakan’ included the likes of Anils Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor and Athiya Shetty. Ileana D’Cruz captioned the video as “Just a little msg from @athiyashetty @arjunkapoor @anilskapoor and yours truly #mubarakan #mubarakaninlondon”.
One of Bollywood’s ‘yummy-mummy’ Shilpa Shetty Kundra splashed the colours even in her video while wishing everyone through the social media. She captioned the video as “Here's wishing everyone a very #HappyHoli”.
