I don’t enjoy playing Holi: John Abraham

John Abraham is someone who doesn’t play Holi. And he has a good reason for disliking the festival of colours.‘I don’t celebrate Holi. Men misuse Holi and they are very perverse. So I don’t really respect how it is being celebrated. All these festival of colours are just a garb,’ reasoned John.While John is not averse to celebrating Holi, it is the manner of celebration that he protests against. “If you ask me, there is a civil way of putting gulal on someone’s forehead. That’s fine. Other than that it is just a waste of water. You are cutting trees. You are destroying nature. You are destroying everything possible in the name of religion. So I don’t enjoy playing Holi.’Other Bollywood actors who don’t play Holi include Ranveer Singh and Kareena Kapoor.Ranveer Singh told us he doesn’t play Holi as he has cleanliness related OCD (Obsessive compulsive disorder). Kareena Kapoor stopped playing Holi after the death her legendary grandfather Raj Kapoor who was known for throwing the grandest ever Holi parties in Bollywood. ‘We don’t celebrate Holi anymore. The day my grandfather (Raj Kapoor) died, the colour in lives also left with him. Since then, none of us have celebrated Holi,’ Kareena had once mentioned at a press conference.
