Holi 2021: Rewind to Bollywood’s biggest Holi parties hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Shabana Azmi

Amid a rise in daily Covid-19 cases in Mumbai, the BMC has banned Holi celebrations in the city. And most likely, no pictures from Bollywood's famous Holi parties would make the rounds. So let us look back at those times when the Hindi film stars celebrated this festival of colours with full zest at parties hosted by Amitabh Bachchan and Raj Kapoor, Shah Rukh Khan and Shabana Azmi.

Last year, all eyes were on a Holi celebration party hosted by Isha Ambani. Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas, Vicky Kaushal, Katrina Kaif, Rajkummar Rao, Jacqueline Fernandez, and many more celebs were seen at the bash. (Photo: Nick Jonas, Anusha Dandekar/Instagram)

Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar are also known for hosting a lavish Holi party. Last year, the pair had to cancel it. Sharing these old photos, Shabana wrote, "From Holi last year at Janki Kutir ..A tradition started by Kaifi and Shaukat. Sabko Holi mubarak lekin is saal nahi mana rahe hain .." In the year 2019, Farhan Akhtar had arrived for the Holi party with his girlfriend Shibani Dandekar. (Photo: Shabana Azmi / Twitter)
