Bhavana Balsaver on her 'one' big Holi Bash with Big B...

It's that phase in the year when all would simply love to play with colors and gather with friends, family and relatives to celebrate 'Holi'.

However, ask talented actor Bhavana Balsaver about her plans for this Holi, and she cannot stop herself from saying that she recollects her one big Holi Bash so much that she has decided never to play with colors.

Elaborating on this, Bhavana tells us, "My first and last Holi bash was with Amitabh Bachchan ji (Big B). Frankly speaking, I never like to play with colors, so had never played Holi. But when we were shooting for Dekh Bhai Dekh, we had the honor of playing Holi with Big B, as AB Corp was the production house of the show. And as everyone knows, Big B organizes a fabulous Holi Bash at his home. We all were there and he applied color on my face wishing me. He has been my favorite actor, and I was stunned when he did that. I never felt like washing my face after playing Holi with him (smiles)".

So what do you generally do on Holi? "When we were kids, we used to go outdoors; we also used to go on a holiday. Last year I was working on the day, and this year too my new SAB TV show keeps me busy".

Bhavana Balsaver plays a Saas as well as a Bahu in SAB TV's silent comedy Gutur Gu. "I am excited about my show, and this is a new challenge that has come my way. I don't think emoting without dialogues is difficult, but we need to time our expressions well".
