Karma, confessions & Holi

When I was in Class XI, someone threw a colour balloon in my eyes. After that, I stopped playing Holi. But even though I am not a Holi freak, I make it a must to gulp down glasses of bhang on this occasion. It so
happened once that I had gone for a long drive with my boyfriend, after consuming a whole lot of bhang. I was so high that I could barely remain seated behind him on the bike.And he had a tough time

My friend threw a party last Holi. He told me it was a formal party and I went dressed in a short white cocktail dress. As soon as I walked in through the door, I was greeted with chemical colours on my face! Before I could react, I was hoisted and thrown in the pool! ��� Tina Mukherjee, model/actor
A friend of mine mixed gutter water, eggs and colours and doused me in it. To get back, I made a mixture of liquid bleach, blue permanent colour and mustard oil and coloured his teeth. The stains refused to go even after a month

When I was returning home after tuition, my para guys climbed the
terrace of a nearby building and poured coloured water over me, while singing Rang barse. I couldn���t get transport and had to walk back home in such a state��� Sraboni, model
I had the best time of my life, three years ago at a party. As soon as I entered the do, I was thrown into a pool of coloured water. When I looked around, I saw only women around me. It was them who had hoisted me and thrown me into the pool. There was also a friend of mine who had the hots for me, but could never admit it. This was a great opportunity for her to get close to me. As for me, I submitted to fair play!

I never played Holi during my childhood because the festival always clashed with my exams. A few years ago, I was chilling out at my friend���s place the day after Holi. All of a sudden, I was doused with a bucket of blue colour. This act sure
managed to banish my blues!��� Parno Mittra, actor
As a young boy, me and my friends would climb trees and throw water balloons on girls that at times,
contained gutter water. I knew the girls would go and complain to my parents, so I wouldn���t return home the entire day, fearing a beating��� Hiran, actor
When I was in Class X, I went to play Holi at a friend���s place. We had a lot of thandaai and bhang. Finally, I returned home without my shirt and my parents failed to recognise me ��� Anshuman, actor
I never played Holi with friends and always made the excuse of having a fever. My friends found out and one year, as I was sleeping peacefully, they doused me in water that not only had colour but also rotten eggs! After that, I went along with friends on the bike and played Holi on the streets, rowdy fashion

As a child I would play Holi, but as I grew up, there was hardly any charm left in it. For me,
it���s a must to eat well, get high and be at peace during Holi!

I���ve seen guys trying to get close to girls during Holi on the pretext of smearing colours. But I���ve never had that kind of luck. So, Holi for me is watching
others get naughty

I got high on bhang one Holi and clapped my hands for 45
minutes non-stop. After that I played some really bad piano. I don���t remember what else I did, but the next morning I woke up with a lot of pain. But I must admit it was fun. Holi also gives men and women the opportunity to get close to one another. Everyone has a mask on so it���s difficult to know the intentions.

Honestly, I���m so high on bhang each Holi that it���s difficult to remember anything that I did that day. Thankfully, some friend always gets a camera along and takes pictures. And like Aamir in Ghajini I have to see those pictures to know what actually happened at the party.��� Tanya Sen, Crystal Grass
A few years back, a friend of mine had put some extremely bad quality colour on my face. Everytime I tried washing my face, I would feel a burning sensation and the colour refused to come off. Finally, it did come off with my peeling skin. I had to consult a skin specialist and stayed away from Holi. But last year while shooting for Mr Funtoosh in Hyderabad, I got together with actor Rachna Banerjee and smeared the entire unit, including Bumbada and Angsuman, with colours
