Bollywood has already started with the celebrations of Holi, with several stars snapped enjoying the festival at the Ambani bash. Spilling the beans on her plans for the festival, Deepika Padukone told a daily that Ranveer and she will be spending time together, before she leaves for her outdoor shoot for Shakun Batra’s month-long shoot in Sri Lanka. Deepika further stated that Ranveer and should would perform a small pooja at their house and then visit the in law’s home, celebrating the festival together. Padukone and Bhavnani families reportedly come together for the festive celebration.

Revealing that she doesn’t like ‘eggs’ used in the celebration, Deepika went on to reveal an incident when her mother was hit with eggs on the day of Holi. Her mother had later told that the boys throwing the eggs could be aiming at Deepika.

She grew up in Bengaluru, Karnataka, where – as she puts it – the Holi fervour isn’t as much as in other parts of the country. But that never stopped Deepika Padukone from adding her share of colours in the festival along with friends and family.

Even now, she seems visibly blissful about “spending quality time” with her near-and-dear-ones on such special days. “The mythology part of festivals is obvious but what’s amazing is that festivals — be it Holi, Diwali or Ganpati — bring together people, families and communities. Also, I appreciate the fact that these festivals have been going on for generations and we still continue that tradition,” says the actor.

Deepika was last seen in ‘Chhapaak’. Her next film appearance is with husband Ranveer Singh in sports drama ‘83’ wherein she essays the role of his onscreen wife. Deepika will be playing the lead in the Hindi remake of Hollywood film ‘The Intern’.
