Holi 2016: Here's what's on your favourite Bollywood musician's playlist this year!

We are a sum of many things. And there are times colours define us like no other trait. We put the query to musicians and singers and asked them about the the colours that best represents them. They do fill our life with various colours with the different genres of music. Each brings a distinct style and personality to our music-filled lives.... And yes, we've also asked them to share a colour-filled playlist with us.
