Holi 2026 | Jaane Anjaane Hum Mile Star Jayati Bhatia Shares Her Holi Traditions: 'I Ask For Forgiveness'

As the festival of colours draws near, there is a gentle magic in the air, a season not just marked by vibrant hues, but by heartfelt renewal and quiet reflection. Holi is celebrated to embrace warmth and light with every joyous splash of colour. For Zee TV's Jayati Bhatia this celebration resonates far beyond the playful throw of gulaal and festive gatherings as it is a tapestry woven with cherished memories, deep-rooted bonds, and treasured traditions that dance in their hearts long after the colours have faded.

Each brings their own story, threads of childhood wonder, family rituals, soulful growth, and unforgettable moments shared with loved ones. Through their own voices, they reveal what Holi means to them in 2026, which is a living vision of joy, love, forgiveness, and the beautiful promise of new beginnings.

Jayati Bhatia, who plays Sharda Bua in Zee TV's Jaane Anjaane Hum Mile, said, "For many years now, I've often celebrated Holika Dahan while shooting on set because in almost every TV serial we shot, there's a scene on Holika Dahan, so it feels like we're celebrating it during the shoot itself. The next day, it gets telecast, so in a way, the celebration happens right there on set. That means most of the time, the entire night is spent shooting, and I don't really get a chance to celebrate the ritual at home. On those days, I reflect on all the negativity I might have carried, moments when I might have hurt someone knowingly or unknowingly, and I mentally ask for forgiveness. I pray that all my negative thoughts and energies get burnt away with the Holika fire, because that's not who I want to be. Holi is such a wonderful festival because it gives me the chance to think about myself and reconnect with family. Even if unintentionally, we drift apart sometimes, our family is the most important part of my life. So I want to wish you all a very happy and safe Holi!"

Here's wishing everyone a very Happy Holi!
