Virat Kohli, Kareena Kapoor, Sachin Tendulkar extend Holi greetings
Mumbai, March 3
In today's age of social media, virtual greetings on platforms like Instagram and X have become a regular feature whenever an important occasion arises. Indian celebrities also make it a point to extend their wishes online whenever a major event or festival takes place in the country.
With Holi here, everyone is immersed in the festivities, and celebrities including Kareena Kapoor Khan, Bobby Deol, Sachin Tendulkar, and Virat Kohli, have shared their greetings with fans on social media.
Kareena shared a vibrant Holi greeting on Instagram, writing, "Happy Holi," against a colorful backdrop.
Kohli shared a story on his Instagram that read, "Happy Holi. May this festival of colours bring success, happiness, and positivity to your life."
Here's how Bobby wished his Instagram family on Holi.
Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar added a humorous sporting twist to his Holi greeting.
"Happy Holi! Hope this day brings positivity, good health, and lots of happy moments your way. If you end up completely drenched, consider it a winning performance," he wrote on X.
Holi marks the arrival of spring and the harvest season. The celebration is deeply rooted in Hindu mythology, symbolising the triumph of good over evil. The festival of Holi begins with the ritual of lighting a bonfire, known as Holika Dahan. The following day marks the more widely celebrated aspect of Holi, when people immerse themselves in joy and togetherness by playing with colours.
This year, the celebration of the 'Festival of Colours' is being observed on two separate days.
While several states in Western India, including Mumbai and Gujarat, have already begun the festivities today, Tuesday, March 3. North India is set to mark its main celebrations tomorrow, Wednesday, March 4.

Sachin's message is so clever! "Consider it a winning performance" – only a legend can connect Holi with cricket like that. Happy Holi to all celebrating!
It's nice to see the greetings, but I do wish some of them were a bit more personal or creative, you know? Sometimes it feels like just another social media post for them. But the spirit is what counts! Holi hai! 🎉
The article mentions different dates for different regions. That's the beauty of India! So many diverse ways to celebrate one festival. In my town in UP, we are celebrating tomorrow. Bura na mano, Holi hai!
The colors and joy in these posts are infectious. It's wonderful to see such a vibrant festival being shared globally. Happy Holi to my Indian friends!
Festivals like Holi truly bring the nation together. Whether it's a celebrity on Instagram or families in their neighbourhoods, the message is the same – joy, togetherness, and the triumph of good. Let's play with safe, natural colours this year.
