'Rang Barse' is my favourite Holi song: Amitabh

Actor Amitabh Bachchan enjoys life in all its splendour and colour....

It's no wonder then that he takes much joy in going 'click' as he crosses the 'Taesu'... He says, "It's a reminder that Holi is around the corner .. the purity of its color drenched in water..."

The Bachchans' Holi celebrations are widely talked about; However, this year, too, the family will refrain from hosting a colourful celebration. "There has been a demise of a loved one close to the family, thus we will not be celebrating," explains Amitabh.

So what are the first thoughts that come to the actor's mind when one utters the word 'Holi': "The beginning of the end of winter; the onset of summer. Then there are the colours, festivities with family and friends, delicacies, music, dance...." trails off Bachchan who has just finished shooting for 'Aarakshan', and embarked upon his next project 'Bbuddah'.

Ask him of his favourite Holi numbers, and he is quick to name 'Rang Barse' and 'Holi Khele Raghuveera'... But there's too much happening in the world: the most unfortunate Japan quake, the World Cup, film shootings... and just as another shot is readied, Amitabh gets up to contribute some colour to the scene.
