      Storyline

      Did you know

      • Trivia
        The seven-minute song "Do me a favor - let's play Holi" took seven days to film. This was due to a series of factors - the time it took to set up the sets and equipment; the time it took to film the scenes; the time it took to clean up the sets; and one unexpected setback - Priyanka Chopra Jonas got electrocuted when she stepped on a loose wire. Fortunately she spent only one night in the hospital.
