Vivek Oberoi plays Holi with underprivileged children in Vrindavan | Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi celebrated the festival of colours 'Holi' with the poor and the destitute children in Vrindavan, near Mathura. Oberoi
played Holi along with the underprivileged children in a traditional manner using
flowers and colours. Claiming to have played Holi for the first time, the actor
said that he enjoyed celebrating the festival with those children. "I really liked
it. I played Holi for the first time in my life. Today I really enjoyed playing
it with flowers along with these children. They applied colours on me and make
me dance on the banks of river Yamuna. Even I played with them and applied colours
to them," said Oberoi. "Instead of giving assurances and making never ending promises,
I felt that if I can make some difference in these children's lives, then what
better than that feeling. There is no point in making promises. One should actually
do something," he added. The actor even watched special dance performances and
cultural programs presented to him by these children. All the children seemed
excited to have their favourite actor beside them, who kept chatting with them
for hours. This year 'Holi' will be celebrated on February 28 and March 1. Holi
is a festival of joy, mirth and buoyancy, and is celebrated when both man and
nature cast off the winter gloom. Holi heralds the arrival of spring, the season
of hope and new beginnings and marks the rekindling of the spirit of life. |
