doweshowbellyad=0; Jaspinder Narula (TOI Photo)I���m working on Holi,��� says singer Jaspinder Narula, when you ask her what she���s doing on the holiday. ���I���m shooting all day long for Dhoom Macha De on NDTV Imagine.��� But before you begin to sympathise, she tells you she doesn���t really mind. ���I have wonderful memories of Holi, of course,��� she continues.
���As kids, we have played the
chhat se gubare marne wali Holi also. Then, when we grew older, we would go to our friends��� farmhouse and have a musical programme of ghazals and bhajans. Plus, they had a good pool, so we���d have a swim too. I don���t like ganda colours. I like a very nice and posh Holi.��� But Jaspinder hasn���t always had such a cool time on Holi. ���As a kid, my father would never allow me to play Holi with the guys from school. Eight to ten of them ��� my gang ��� would come over, and he would tell them, ���Nahin beta, bas Jaspinder ko tilak karo. Don���t put any colour on her face.��� Then we used to treat them to the special dishes that were made at home for Holi, and that was it. My dad was very strict about this.��� This Holi, however, is special for Jaspinder, in spite of the fact that she���s working. She performed with her father and brother for an episode that was aired yesterday on the channel, and it made for a memory that she says she���s going to cherish forever. ���This Holi will make for a fond memory since I recently performed with my father and brother,��� she says. ���The performance brought back fond memories of all the times I had performed with them both. It gave me an ultimate emotional high.���
