The family enjoyed the festival alongside friends at a lively gathering, where Preity was seen posing and smiling with the guests throughout the video.
Preity on how she is raising her kids in multicultural family
In her post, Preity expressed, "This Holi was everything I had hoped for. The weather was delightful, the children were full of excitement, we used organic colours, and enjoyed the company of friends and family, along with delicious food and the most enjoyable Holi celebration complete with music (red heart emoji). As a multicultural Indian American family, we prioritize celebrating each other's festivals and cultures, ensuring that the children remain connected to their heritage from both sides."
Preity says Gene ‘lucked out marrying an Indian woman’
Preity humorously remarked that Gene "lucked out by marrying an Indian woman," stating, "I often tease Gene, saying he is fortunate to have married into Indian culture, as we have countless reasons to celebrate our rich heritage and remarkable traditions. Here’s to honouring the best aspects of ourselves with those who mean the most (two hearts emoji). A heartfelt thank you to @styledbyambika for hosting such a wonderful Holi party. We truly had an incredible time (smiling face with heart-eyes, fire, and clapping hands emojis) #holi2025 #desivibes #ting," she concluded.
