Fantasies of a desh-videsh holiday


No sooner summers set in, our psyche automatically tunes into the vacation mode, where traveling tops the agenda. Our TV celebs too get tempted to take a break to jaunt with their family. But as they are bounded by a tight schedule and round-the-clock shoots, this desire by and large remains 'a desire'.

Want to know which are the dream destinations of our TV celebs, both in India as well as abroad? Prashant Golecha finds out.

Interesting note is that when it comes to our country, Goa was almost a unanimous choice.



Barkha Bisht


 


Desh: It's 'Go Goa' simply for the exquisite beaches. It's a fun filled place and people there just let you be.

Videsh: I'm a water-baby, so it's Maldives. I've never been there but I am keen to visit it for it's virgin beaches. I have read a lot about this island nation on the net, in books and on television.


 

 

 



Sai Deodhar




Desh: TV actors hardly get time to plan long holidays. Goa is very accessible. You can spontaneously plan and just simply land there even for two days. It's a blend of everything, slow and relaxed. It's one place where you don't have to give a second thought before saying yes.

Videsh: The mysterious land of Egypt. The pyramids are fascinating! And yes for shopping its Bangkok!

 

 





Sanjit Bedi





Desh: Goa is the ultimate destination as I'm a beach person. Goa is like next to home (Mumbai). I freak out whenever I'm there.

Videsh: Kenya is very beautiful as the best of the whole world's right there. I love it's natural surroundings. The hotels are luxurious with ultimate facilities. But if I want to party Europe is my destination.


 

 

 



Nasir Khan




Desh
: My favourite holiday destination here is Kashmir. I have been there seven-eight times. It's splendid, serene and freezing during winters.

Videsh: Australia, its very peaceful, huge landscape, good for fishing. It's a total family destination. For my shopping desires, its Bangkok always.


 

 







Rushad Rana




Desh: Nothing can beat Goa. I love its beaches, it's tangy food and culture.

Videsh: Overseas it's Mauritius for its exotic beaches. In spite of language barriers one can enjoy as people there are very warm and friendly. I would also love to visit Italy and Paris.
