Exclusive – Veer Hanuman’s Mahir Pandhi on Holi celebrations: Enjoy the festival, but take care of your skin and health’

Television actor Mahir Pandhi, who plays the roles of Bali and Sugreev in Veer Hanuman, shared his thoughts on celebrating Holi with joy while prioritizing safety and self-care. For him, Holi is not just about colors but also about tradition, devotion, and well-being.
Mahir revealed that his family begins the festivities with prayers, emphasizing the spiritual essence of Holi. "At home, we start Holi with prayers and apply sandalwood paste, which symbolizes devotion and purity. It is also deeply connected with Lord Hanuman’s spiritual significance," he shared.

Understanding the impact of chemical-based colors on the skin, Mahir follows a protective skincare routine before and after playing Holi. He ensures his skin and hair are well-prepared by applying coconut oil or aloe vera gel beforehand. "Before stepping out, I apply coconut oil or aloe vera gel to create a protective barrier. This helps prevent the harsh chemicals in synthetic colors from causing skin damage," he explained.

Advocating for eco-friendly celebrations, Mahir prefers organic colors. "I always opt for organic colors to avoid any harm to the skin. It is important to celebrate responsibly and protect both ourselves and the environment," he added.

Once the celebrations end, he follows a thorough skincare routine to restore hydration. "After Holi, I cleanse my skin with a mild cleanser and apply moisturizer to maintain its health and glow," he advised.
Mahir encourages his fans to embrace the festival's spirit while being mindful of their well-being. "Enjoying Holi is important, but taking care of your skin and health is just as essential!" he concluded, highlighting the balance between celebration and self-care.
