Sayantani Ghosh on Holi plans; says 'This year is even more special because I’ve become a bua, and it’s my nephews’ first Holi'

As the festival of colours Holi is celebrated across India, there is a gentle magic in the air, a season not just marked by vibrant hues, but by heartfelt renewal and quiet reflection. Holi is celebrated to embrace warmth and light with every joyous splash of colour. For Sayantani Ghosh Holi reflects all the childhood memories of playing with gulaal, eating gujiyas, and celebrating with the family. This day creates and deepens bond between your loved ones and embrace the ones which are dear to you. Meeting to apply colors but ending up with a bunch of happy memories to look back to.

Each brings their own story, threads of childhood wonder, family rituals, soulful growth, and unforgettable moments shared with loved ones. Through their own voices, they reveal what Holi means to them in 2026, which is a living vision of joy, love, forgiveness, and the beautiful promise of new beginnings.

Sayantani Ghosh who plays Maya in Jagadhatri said, “I have so many happy childhood memories, playing with colours all day during school days, competing with friends to see how long the colour stayed on our faces after Holi. We played with so much colour! Of course, things are different now. Earlier we didn’t worry about herbal colours or side-effects; we would wake up, oil our bodies all over for protection, and rush out to play Holi. Now, because we work, even if we take a holiday on the day of Holi, we’re back to our routines the next day, so we don’t play with colours as intensely as before. This year is even more special because I’ve become a bua (aunt), and it’s my nephews’ first Holi. So we’ll be celebrating the first Holi with our little baby girl, which makes it extra special. We’ll celebrate with family, my husband, my brother, my sister-in-law, my nephews, and I, all of us together.”
