Recalling her childhood 'Holi'

Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone says that Holi is one of her favourite festivals and she remembers the time when she was a kid and played colours with friends.

“Holi has been one of my favourite festivals since childhood. Playing Holi with my friends from my building after coming back from school is one of my favourite childhood Holi memories.Preparations for the festival would start at least a week before,” said Deepika.

The actress, who delivered four back-to-back hits Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, ‘Chennai Express’, Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela and ‘Race 2’ in 2013, is currently shooting for ‘Happy New Year’. She is looking forward to celebrate the festival with the cast of the film this year.

“This year, I will be shooting for my film ‘Happy New Year’. It’s a fun bunch and I am surely celebrating Holi on the set will be a lot of fun,” she said.Deepika, who is known for her beautiful skin, also keeps a check on her beauty regimen around Holi.

“During Holi, I am concerned about my hair the most. Applying a coconut-based hair oil acts as a protective layer for my hair against the colours and the summer heat. I tie my hair in a side braid or a messy ponytail.

Also, I make sure to keep myself hydrated,” said the actress. “Playing Holi can be exhausting. When I return home, I like to pamper myself with a coconut-based hair oil massage and a cup of hot coffee,” she added.
