Shubhaavi Choksey is one of the most respected and senior-most actresses in the television industry. She is best known for her role as Meera in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Rishika in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, and Mohini Basu in Kasautii Zindagii Kay.

The festival of colours, Holi is celebrated with great pomp and show all over the country. In an exclusive interview with Absolute India News, the actress shared her plans and urged her fans to play safely.

While speaking to Absolute India News, Shubhaavi dished out details about how she is going to celebrate Holi this year. She said, “I am super excited for the festival since Holi and Diwali are the most crazy occasion for me. I have too many memories associated with this festival since I’ve had a lot of fun. I remember playing with permanent colours like pink and silver colours which left an indelible mark on my face and hands”.

She also recounted her favourite memory of celebrating the festival with family.
She shared, “So it was my first holi after marriage and my brother-in-law played really bad holi with stuff like tomatoes, eggs and many other things. He called me and we were three of us sitting under a pipe and he pretended to apply shampoo on my head. That was really sweet of him until I knew there was sabja(sweet basil seeds) in it. And later it took so much time to take that out since it got stuck in my head. That was really crazy and fun.”

Talking about her favourite food item to gorge on holi she quipped, “I love Thandai but without bhang(chuckles). I also love Fafda-Jalebis and all types of sweets.”

Advising people to celebrate the festival of colours safely Shubhaavi said, “If possible avoid playing with permanent colours and prefer using herbal colours. Because our immunity has gone down and the whole weather and climate has changed all over the world. It has given so many skin issues to people so just be a little more careful this time and have fun.”

On the work front, the actress is currently seen playing a pivotal role in the show Bade Achhe Lagte Hain 2.
