Bachchans abandon Holi celebrations

The Bachchans are known to make festivals a family affair with others in the fraternity invited to take part in their festivities too. However, it will come as no surprise that the family have decided not to go ahead with Holi celebrations this year due to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s father’s hospitalisation.

India.com report a source explaining, “The family has been following a tradition every year to celebrate the festival together. They make arrangements way in advance, check their work schedules, to be able to come together on festivals. Diwali and Holi are very important. In fact Holi party at the Bachchan’s is one of the most talked about in B-town while it is an intimate family affair. They have visitors from close friends to the industry people as well. But this time, the entire household in under a pall of gloom since bahu Ash’s father is in a critical condition.”

The source went on to say, “Both Ash and Abhi have been busy at the hospital attending to him. The family is under immense stress and that’s why they have decided to not celebrate Holi. They will only indulge in the customary Holika Pooja but not play with colours the next day. The entire khandaan is upset and in great tension over his health”.
