Happy Holi!

I am shamelessly stealing the idea from e4e. Head to her lj for more pics.

Happy Holi to those on my flist who celebrate it. And for those who don't (like me) this is a great excuse to post cool pics.

For those who don't know, Holi is an annual Hindu spring festival. On the second day, known as Dhulandi, people go around until afternoon throwing colors at each other. As you can imagine, Holi is a festival beloved of Bollywood filmmakers for obvious reasons.

Akshay Kumar and Priyanka Chopra get into the spirit of Holi in Waqt:





Hema Malini and Big B celebrate Holi in a thoroughly romantic fashion in Baghban, proving that older people love stories rule!



Hrithik Roshan gets his face smudged. Hundreds of women commit suicide:



Shahrukh Khan having fun with Holi in Darr. e4e had this pic as well but I can't have a Holi spread without SRK pics :)



Raj Kapoor and young (and hot) Amitabh Bachchan celebrating Holi in Raj Kapoor's house. I have no snarky comments as I wouldn't dare. Raj Kapoor and thousands of Russians who loved Awaara would eat me alive:



Madhuri Dixit and Subhash Ghai, one of her long-time directors, throw colors on each other. Too much inhalation of the paint would definitely explain the bizarreness of Yaadein on Ghai's part:



Salman Khan and a couple of people I don't know having fun with the concept. Ahhh, Salman. You always take off your shirt in movies for no reason, but the one time you should remove it, you keep it on. I call it perverse and not just cause I want to see pecs:



Ajay Devgan, prior hair-cut and art house cred:



Aamir Khan and Rani Mukherji celebrate in The Rising. I guess even stressed revolutionaries take time out to play Holi:



Saif Ali Khan. Nope, he isn't celebrating but this pic is so hot, it would be a sin not to include it. Plus, I'd totally smear paint on him:

w00t! Happy Holi to you too, and thank you for the pretty picspam.

Also, Happy Purim.

That is the most disturbing Ajay Devgan pic I have ever seen O_O But your SAK pic made up for it. Hotness yay!

Also, because I am disillusioned, when I think of Holi my second thought after "bright happy colours and people dancing" is "an excuse for intoxicated men to shamelessly grope women as they please".

Hmmmm, maybe I should have a private Holi with Husband then :)

Just popping in with another cute Holi pic. :)

SRK and Gauri.

Eeeeee! That is adorable. More SRK! *sigh*

btw, I don't know if I mentioned it, but your icon (and the pic it was taken from) is one of my favorite things. The only thing sexier than a sexy man is a sexy man being paternal to his small kid.

Oh, I knoww. I love the man 100x more now. I don't think I'll ever change my icon.

SRK=hot.

SRK+kids=my brain is fried.

I didn't think there was a cuter picture than the one where he is holding Aryan and Suhana and they are pulling their mouths open, but this is definitely it.
