Former Ms. World Manushi Chillar says that her favorite part about Holi is having lots of Gujiya
Manushi Chhillar, a debutante, discussed what she enjoys about the Holi festival of colors. She enjoys the festival because of the sense of togetherness it fosters in everyone. Manushi says, “ My initial memories of Holi are from childhood when we used to live in Bangalore. I still remember having a small pink pichkari as pink used to be my color, going around with my friends, being very excited about Holi, and playing with my pichkari and my water gun.”
She further adds “ Like any other festival, I love the whole community feeling that we have with Holi. I think the one special thing about Holi is also the fact that all your friends come to play and we would have groups and there would literally be gang wars with water guns, that was really fun.” She reveals her favorite thing to do on Holi is: “I used to really love eating Gujiya (I have a sweet tooth). So, these used to be my favorite parts about Holi.”
When asked how she celebrated Holi at her house she said, “ I think Holi is also about a build-up, you start preparing, you start playing a little few weeks before the actual festival, but Gujiya was what I absolutely loved about Holi, growing up in the north, it used to be made at home; so that was fun. Otherwise, the atmosphere at home during any festival is fun, all coming together to celebrate and I have working parents so festivals would actually be those few days that they would get an off so we would all come together and spend time together.”
On the work front, we will soon see Manushi Chillar on the Big Screen with her debut film Prithviraj Chauhan. She would be starring opposite Akshay Kumar, which will release worldwide on 3rd, June 2022.
