| Holi Celebrations at RK Studios |
Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor took a trip down the memory lane on Holi this year and gave his followers on microblogging site Twitter a view of the legendary Holi parties held at the RK studios, when his father, actor-filmmaker Raj Kapoor was alive.
In a series of tweets, Rishi Kapoor showed a relay of guests including megastar Amitabh Bachchan, Shtrughan Sinha, Jeetendra, Prem Chopra, music composers Shankar Jaikishan, Kathak Dancer Among others.
It is believed that the Kapoors stated the tradition of lavish Holi parties in Bollywood, which was soon followed by other big stars. And though now, we hardly have any huge Holi parties, here's a look at how the Kapoors and their guests celebrated the big day.

However the family discontinued the tradition after Raj Kapoor's death in 1988. Rishi Kapoor also said that the 'gatecrashers' at the party was another reason to discontinue the Holi parties.
He tweeted:
Unfortunately after Raj Kapoor Sahab passed away, the family discontinued The festival of Holi at RK therefore I do not have any new pics

Reason for discontinuing was the unprecedented gate crashers at the venue to the discomfort of our guests but it remained in our hearts

And finally, he also informed that his son, actor Ranbir Kapoor, will be busy shooting for his films and therefore, there are no celebration even today.
I don't play Holi and Ranbir is on an outdoor stint. Hope this puts all speculation to rest. Happy Holi all much love xxxxx
