Holi festivities were muted in the Bachchan household given the COVID-19 precautions.
On Sunday night, actor Amitabh Bachchan had given us a peek into the Holika Dahan ceremony at their residence. And on Monday night, his daughter-in-law, actor Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, shared a few photos of the bonfire.
The photos also feature daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan. Holika Dahan is celebrating the night before the festival of colors.
Aishwarya took to her Instagram handle and shared clicks from the Holi bonfire, along with daughter Aaradhya playing with colors. “HAPPINESS, PEACE, GOOD HEALTH AND LOTS OF LOVE ALWAYS ??HAPPY HOLI, ❤️???????✨” Aishwarya Rai wrote in her caption.
Amitabh also wrote a blog on how Holi lost most of its sheen this year given the surge in coronavirus cases, which forced people to stay at home.
“The streets are silent, the drums and the singing of the celebrations remain muted, nothing moves. The festival is shrouding and the desolation among all,” the actor wrote.
“This is not Holi festivities we all grew up in, sang and danced and celebrated with all as equals, spent the entire day in joys of togetherness. And affection and embracing each other in the gratitude of the above, faces familiar, faces unfamiliar but the affection of joining in one big family immensely.”
