At the end of the video, Ketan is shown plastered in Holi colours.
Facebook shared the video on YouTube with a caption that read, “What would you do, if a friend in a land far, far away were faced with a colourless Holi, spent all alone? Would you feel bad and let it be? Or would you get on Facebook and reach out to the world?”.
