Ranbir Kapoor: Holi parties were scary, not festive!
5 Mar
Summary
- Ranbir Kapoor found his grandfather's Holi parties overwhelming as a child.
- The large gatherings at RK Studio included everyone in the film industry.
- Such grand Holi celebrations have become rare after RK Studio's sale.
Actor Ranbir Kapoor recently recounted childhood experiences of the grand Holi celebrations hosted by his grandfather, filmmaker Raj Kapoor, at RK Studio. Kapoor described these events as more intimidating than festive from a young child's perspective. He recollected scenes where attendees were playfully thrown into trucks, covered in black and other colors, highlighting the intense revelry.
These RK Studio Holi parties were once a significant event in the film industry's social calendar, known for their scale and inclusivity. They brought together actors, directors, musicians, and crew members, fostering a sense of camaraderie across all levels of the industry. However, such large-scale gatherings have diminished over time, particularly following the sale of RK Studio after a fire in 2017. The stories from these celebrations continue to offer a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era of Bollywood's collective spirit and traditions.
