Holi 2023: Archana Gautam shares her crazy 'bhaang experience'

Archana Gautam/Raj M Patil

'Bigg Boss 16' finalist Archana Gautam caught up for a Holi special conversation with mid-day.com.

What are the earliest memories of celebrating Holi that come to mind?

When my father worked in the police force, I would collect Rs 50-100 from people and arrange for a DJ at the police headquarters. The celebrations were just like what you see in Bollywood films. I was in charge of the decoration and arrangement of food.

Any crazy experiences related to bhaang?

I had once visited a village and was unaware that bhaang was being served, I drank 2-3 classes thinking it was lassi. I got beaten up by my mother that day.

Your favourite colour and why?

My favourite colour is yellow but I also play with red on Holi.

Any delicacies or special food that is prepared at your home for the festival?

My favourite sweet that I enjoy on Holi is gujiya. When I'm at home with family, I try and prepare gujiyas with my mother on neighbours. I'm yet to decide on my new home which is why this year I could not prepare homemade gujiyas and dahi vadas.

Favourite Holi song to dance to and why?

I enjoy dancing on 'Do me a favour lets play Holi' from 'Waqt' because Priyanka Chopra is my favourite actress. Other favourites include 'Balam Pichkari' from 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani' and 'Holi khele Raghuveera' from 'Baghban.'
