MUMBAI: As they celebrate World Tourism Day on 27 September, our favourite Telly actors talk about their top holiday destinations and what they love about that place.
Sheeba: Traveling to the US was a delight and beautiful experience. There were scenic locations, clear sky and pollution-free roads. The ambiance of peace perked up my attitude and makes it the most preferred location for me. Every year, I go to the US with my family and come back rejuvenated.
Vahbiz Dorabjee: Traveling is my lifeline. I cannot even think of life without travelling, be it in India or abroad. Lonavala is a quick getaway for me and I have a lot of monsoon memories of the place. I go there every year during the rainy season.
Adaa Khan: Recently, I went to Canada and explored one of the most magical places – Niagra falls. The beauty of the place is so engaging that you can never forget it. I love Niagra falls during the night.
Vivian Dsena: I went to Egypt for the first time recently and the best memory was seeing the pyramids. To be around pyramids was a very different feeling for me, it gave me goosebumps.
Shivin Narang: I made a small trip to Nashik with my parents recently. I believe an actor should rejuvenate himself before a fresh start of a new project. I visited Nashik during the monsoon and it is now one of my favourite weekend getaways. I visited a few temples and the journey was really very beautiful. I can’t describe it in words… one must go to experience that mystic feeling.
Ssharad Malhotra: I visited the Eiffel tower which was one of my dreams, it is the mark of eternal love. They say you should visit it with your loved ones I visited it alone though. When you travel alone, you explore yourself more as a human being and when you start enjoying your own company, travelling becomes fun.
Rishina Kandhari: I went to Singapore for seven days with my family as we all needed a small break from very busy schedules. I visited all the tourist places in Singapore and did not leave any spot. The best ones were Universal Studio, Singapore Zoo, Jurong Bird Park and Aquarium.
Sneha Wagh: In India, it has to be the Pink City, Jaipur. I went to the city recently on a weekend and explored the historical Hawa Mahal, City Palace, Jantar Mantar. I love indulging in the authentic Rajasthani food and I also got few ethnic jewellery pieces from there.
Pooja Banerjee: Being a Bengali, Kolkata has been my favourite destination as I have never stayed in the city of joy. Recently, I have been to Kolkata and I went to the three most popular holy temples of West Bengal- Belur Math, Kaali Ghat and Dakhineshwar. I have worshipped Goddess Kaali since my childhood. This visit was special as I ended up eating all the Bong delicacies in the famous restaurants over there. Kolkata gives me a peace within.
Jasmin Bhasin: I visited Argentina for one of my projects and I was amazed to see this part of the world. Argentina seduces you with Tango and football which I missed once I was back and would love to go again. The food and wine were the best.
