Bollywood might be known for its famous Holi parties, but this year, Hrithik Roshan will refrain from joining in the revelry.
“Hrithik won’t be celebrating Holi as a mark of solidarity with those who are suffering from the acute water shortage in Maharashtra. Instead, he will only use a small amount of gulaal to apply a shagun tika as part of the traditional ritual,” says an insider close to him.
According to the source, Hrithik feels that even dry colours should be used sparingly. If used in excess, they require a lot of water to be washed off, thus defeating the purpose of water conservation.
The insider adds, “Like Hrithik, even the other members of the Roshan family will keep the celebrations low-key. They will take part in the morning puja and then spend some time together”.
