Kareena Kapoor Khan: I stopped playing Holi since my grandfather (Raj Kapoor) died.

Arjun Kapoor: I never play Holi as I am allergic to colours available in the market. However, I remember the one time I was invited for a Holi party to Amitabh Bachchan's house. I went in wearing formal clothes — a white shirt, jeans and a new pair of shoes — thinking that it's going to be a formal event with only a teeka being applied on my forehead. But the moment I entered, Sikander (Kher) and Abhishek dumped me in a pool of mud.

Sushant Singh Rajput: I have very fond memories of Holi. My mother use to prepare so many delicacies and I used to play dirty Holi with my friends without getting scared of spoiling my clothes. In those days Holi was how happiness would look like, it was amazing, it still is.
