The latest episode of India's Best Dancer welcomed Ila Arun for a festival special episode on the show. While talking about their favourite festivals, Karisma Kapoor recalled the grand Holi celebrations at her grandfather Raj Kapoor's RK Studios. She even shared how it has been her favourite festival to date.
Karisma shared, "Bachpan mein, actually Holi is one of my favourite festivals. Mera pura bachpan, I used to go to RK studios for my Dadaji's Holi parties. Those were the legendary parties and all the stars used to come to the parties, the whole Industry, our relatives, the industry's actors' relatives everybody was invited. Even those who were standing on the streets were invited inside that day. It used to be one huge celebration in those days. All of them would come wearing white and turn red and go home. My Dadaji would never allow other colours for Holi, we would play with only Gulaal so there are a lot of beautiful memories with the festival and my dadaji."
Jay Bhanushali also urged Karisma to play Holi and relive those days, he brings Gulaal for Karisma and she keeps running away from it. Soon when Jay is about to apply gulaal, Terence topples the thaal on him and he ends up getting covered in the red colour.
Earlier, when contestant Nikhil Patnayak had performed a song from Mera Naam Joker, Karisma shared an intriguing anecdote about her grandfather Raj Kapoor, “Your act was very beautiful! Honestly, I think my grandfather would have been very, very happy if he had seen this act. He would have given both of you many blessings. I also think the lyrics of this song actually represent what my family stands for; we don’t want money, we want applause. Our art should be loved by the people, and I think that is the most important thing. This value system that we were taught—that money is secondary, but the right values, life, family—these are all very, very important and I think that’s why our family has generations of artists. It’s all thanks to my Dadaji, Raj Kapoor.”
