Zee TV's writers had skillfully interwoven a Holi track into the story of 'Choti Bahu', in which Dev (Avinash Sachdev) who was now falling in love with Radhika (Rubina Dilaik), but unable to express his feelings, had a big Holi celebration at Raj Purohit's, where crowds of people were invited, including Radhika. The plan was to propose to her in the midst of all the rang and bhang.
The channel will have a Holi special of Dance India Dance Doubles tonight, featuring a special performance by Geeta Kapoor's protgs Dharmesh, Siddesh, Kishor, Binny and Amrita from last season. The surprise guest on the sets will be Geeta's mother who will reveal a few little known secrets about her daughter. Like Zee, Sony will also telecast a special episode of Comedy Circus tonight.
Star Plus and Colors have lined up special programmes on Sunday. Keeping the ritual alive by burning Holika, the star cast of 'Sasural Genda Phool', 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai', 'Pyaar Mein Twist' and 'Pratigya' will play with sparkling colours, sing, dance and tease each other with pichkari in one hand and bhang in the other.
Splashing water and colour on each other's faces, Suhana and Ishan (Ragini Khanna and Jay Soni) will celebrate their first Holi together, while Amol and Rekha (Manish Paul and Roshni Chopra) of 'Pyar Mein Twist' struggle to steal a few romantic moments while hiding from Rekha's mother who wants to separate them.
Not far behind is the subtle yet auspicious Holi celebration in
Akshara's (Hina Khan of Yeh Rishta) house with Naitik and his family as
she sits down to make gunjiya and puris for breakfast. Meanwhile, Sajjan
Singh of Pratigya will order Krishna and Pratigya to paint the house
with all the Holi colours, while they steal a moment of intimacy. Hurray π³ π π π
