I wonder why every other serial showed bhang consumption in the holi episodes.
Growing up, we never had bhang. It was considered to be bad. We used to make fun of people who were bhangis. Isn't it like marijuana? Is it really that prevalent in India during Holi? Why is it being showed in all the serials?
I know it creates some funny moments and loosens up inhibited people, so the CV's can use it for their own advantage, but I am surprised to see it being so prevalent among all the shows. It is a festival of colors, naach, jokes, and masti anyway. Can Holi not be enjoyed without bhang?

Bhang is part of the celebration of Holi .It is not so in all households but in many it is a reality. It has another more meaningful reason...that I don't know

Marijuana is illegal (recreational purposes at least) and taboo here in the US so it's funny for me and my friends to watch it on these serials.

I don't think it's that bad. It's a once in a year event and they can let loose if they want, as long as no one is getting hurt. And it's funny to see the characters act out due to their high.

Frankly speaking I haven't seen anyone around in my neighborhood consuming bhang and I don't think its necessary at holi. But everyone has different ways to celebrate

Well, I was just surprised to see every show had some important scene attached to the consumption of bhang. Normally, these shows like to do things different from each other, but they all started to look alike because of bhang😆 When I read it is like mariuana, I was like really😕?
