MUMBAI: When they say life is colourful, it can
also mean that life is full of different shades of
emotions. In a country like India, Holi is
celebrated not just as a festival of colours, but it
also symbolises unity and friendship.
With such a lively festival round the corner, can
the English entertainment channels stop from
immersing themselves into the vibrant colours of
this gala event? To add to the dash of happiness
and to brighten the day, English entertainment
channels have lined up power packed shows for
their viewers.
After perusing the available options on channels
