EXCLUSIVE | Shehzaadi Hai Tu Dil Ki Actor Ishu Tomar Shared Holi Nostalgia Says, "Those Were The Real Days."

Holi nostalgia brings back feelings of innocent, loud, and messy joy from childhood. Actor Ishu Tomar currently playing the antagonist Bhanu in the Star Plus drama series Shehzaadi Hai Tu Dil Ki recalls his days during holi celebration with family in his hometown, Uttar Pradesh.

He said, "Holi always brings nostalgia, so I usually stay home. Sometimes I just watch kids playing outside and that somehow makes me happy. Being away from family, I end up spending the day quietly - missing childhood a little, but I've learned to take it as a peaceful rest day."

Sharing ahead he added, "Just playing as kids with water and colors from morning till evening. No food, no breaks - just pure madness. Dancing on loud music, completely lost in the moment... until my parents had to literally drag me home because I was never ready to stop, even when it was getting dark. Those were the real days."

Currently in Mumbai, the actor miss visiting his hometown. "I'm in Mumbai right now. It was a day off from work, so I decided to come back for a few days. Mumbai still feels like home - it's my comfort zone. I don't visit home on Holi. I've kept that occasion special for Diwali. And since I'm working on the Shahzadi show, this year feels different. I'd rather take Holi as a day to rest and recharge here."

"I've never really been into Holi fests. Things and the generation have changed now, and I'd rather keep my Holi memories the way they are - old school, simple and real. So I just stay home and rest," he concluded.

Ishu's previous TV work includes roles in Sasumaa Ne Meri Kadar Na Jaani and Pukaar. He made his debut in the South Indian film Seemaraja and appeared in the Rajinikanth-starrer Darbar (2020). He has also performed in theatre productions, such as the play Gharwali.
