Dream getaways of TV stars

EVERYONE may be in a lockdown and not able to go on a holiday, but that doesn’t stop people from dreaming about a getaway to somewhere nice.

With that in mind, popular TV stars recalled their favourite holiday destinations in India and in the process, gave some ideas for when self-isolation finally ends.


Delnaaz Irani: There are places in India that are very beautiful. Our country is extremely exotic and lovely. As far as places are concerned, Gujarat, Kerala and Rajasthan are so beautiful. But my favourite

destination is Goa because I love beaches.

Angad Hasija: My favourite destination would be Jammu and Kashmir because I feel this destination can beat any foreign country. Gulmarg is so beautiful, I have been there twice and it is not wrong to call it the Switzerland of India.

Meera Deosthale: We went for an outdoor shoot to Kashmir and I decided that when I grow old, this is the kind of place I would want to live my life. It was so calm, so beautiful and serene.

Dhruvee Haldankar: I am a solo traveller and travelling is my fondest hobby. I have travelled to about 12 countries and 15 states in India. My favourite places are Shimla in the hills and Goa surrounded by beaches.

Aashish Mehrotra: I have travelled to a lot of countries and various states in India. I loved Goa because that is one place where I can relax. I love watching the sunrise and sunset, sitting on the beach, having my beer and just being there, without my phone, enjoying the environment and scenic view.

Vijayendra Kumeria: I love travelling and always go to a new destination on vacation, but out of all the places that I have visited in India, I think Kashmir and specifically Pahalgam is the most beautiful place. According to me, it truly is heaven on earth.

Shamin Mannan: I love travelling, it’s my way of rejuvenating. My all-time favourite destination is Palolem; it’s a paradise beach in South Goa, with some amazing beaches nearby and great Goan food. The best part is staying right on the beach in a beach hut. Apart from this, I had a great trip to McLeod Ganj, exploring the mountains, little villages and monasteries; people are so innocent in these small mountain towns.

Savi Thakur: I have visited many places in India like Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand, Jaipur, Punjab, and Madhya Pradesh. All these places are beautiful, but to be very honest, I would say visiting Himachal Pradesh gives me a feeling that I can’t express in words. And Shimla is my favourite holiday destination. I get so much positivity as soon as I enter the capital of Himachal Pradesh.

Rishina Kandhari: There are so many hidden treasures in India. Being a celebrity you get to travel around the world, but I would give up on any trip abroad for Manali. It was like the mountains were calling me. Also, since I live in Mumbai, the chilly weather of Manali gave a very different feel.

Avinash Mukherjee: I don’t have a particular city I love, but given an option, I would like to visit the Golden Temple in Amritsar again and again. I first went there with my family, and it was a different experience and feeling that I cannot express in words.

Urvashi Upadhyay Sharle: If we talk about India, I have visited many places like Orissa, Shimla and Chennai, but last December before Covid-19, I visited Kutch as my uncle stays there. I visited a temple there and it was so beautiful. They say if you haven’t seen Kutch then you haven’t seen anything yet, and now, I believe in this after visiting the place.

Nishant Malkani: As I am a beach baby, my favourite destination in India would be Goa. There is something about the atmosphere, which gives you a very chilled out vibe, and without any fear of being judged, you can just unwind yourself. Moreover, watching the sunrise and sunset gives you inner peace.

Jeet Adani marries Diva Shah, Adani family pledges £950M for social causes

Jeet Adani, the younger son of billionaire industrialist Gautam Adani, married Diva Jaimin Shah, daughter of diamond merchant Jaimin Shah, in an intimate wedding ceremony in Ahmedabad. The event, held at the Adani township, Shantigram, followed traditional Jain and Gujarati customs and was attended by close family members and loved ones. The wedding festivities began at 2 PM, with rituals conducted in a serene and traditional manner.

Despite the family’s prominence, the wedding was intentionally kept low-key, with no political figures or celebrities in attendance. Gautam Adani, who shared glimpses of the ceremony on social media, expressed gratitude and sought blessings for the newlyweds. "It was a small and extremely private function, so we could not invite all well-wishers even if we wanted to. I sincerely seek love and blessings for my daughter Diva and Jeet," he posted.

Hollywood stars Jennifer Aniston and Selena Gomez recently turned heads with their star-studded Galentine’s bash, blending glamour, nostalgia, and a whole lot of girl power. The duo, who share a close bond both personally and professionally, hosted the event to celebrate their beauty brands, LolaVie and Rare Beauty.

The highlight of the evening? The internet went into a frenzy when the duo recreated an iconic Friends scene, paying tribute to the sitcom that made Aniston a household name. A viral video showed them lip-syncing to Rachel and Joey’s famous “Do you know something?” exchange, originally performed by Aniston and Matt LeBlanc. Fans couldn’t get enough, with many calling it the “collab of the century.”


The night was filled with heartwarming moments, from their matching all-black outfits to their playful photo booth sessions. Aniston took to Instagram to share glimpses from the evening, captioning it, “Had a nice early Galentine’s with my girls.”

Selena Gomez, who has often referred to Aniston as a mentor, shared how the Friends star has been a constant source of support and advice. “She’s always been there for me,” Selena said, talking about the importance of having strong female friendships in her life. Aniston, in turn, praised Gomez, calling their bond a “sister-mother” relationship where they uplift and guide each other.

Beyond the celebrations, reports suggest that Aniston is also helping Selena plan her wedding to music producer Benny Blanco. The guest list is rumoured to include A-listers like Taylor Swift and Meryl Streep, making it one of the most anticipated celebrity weddings of the year.

From their heartfelt moments to a Friends throwback that broke the internet, Jennifer Aniston and Selena Gomez’s Galentine’s night was a perfect mix of nostalgia, friendship, and lots of glam.

Naga Chaitanya reacts to a fan saying he can’t act – Here’s what he had to say!

Naga Chaitanya, known for his charm and candidness, recently found himself in the spotlight during a fun Q&A session with his Thandel co-star Sai Pallavi. The actor, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film, faced a cheeky question from a fan that left everyone laughing.

When Sai Pallavi read out a fan’s question, “Acting epudu nerchukuntav? (When will you learn acting?)” Chaitanya appeared stunned for a brief moment, staring blankly at the camera as if processing the unexpected question. He then responded with a mix of surprise and humour, Epudu nerchukuntav enti? (What do you mean, when will I learn?)”


Instead of getting defensive, the Thandelstar took it in stride and responded with a smile: "Honestly, acting is a continuous process. You never fully learn it; you keep growing with every project. If you think you’ve mastered it, that’s when you stop progressing. So, I’m still learning every single day."

While some appreciated his humility, others found the moment hilarious. Social media was soon buzzing with reactions, with many praising Chaitanya for handling the question with grace rather than taking offence. Some fans even tagged the person who originally asked the question, letting them know their comment had made its way to the actor.

This isn’t the first time Chaitanya has addressed criticism. In a recent interview, he opened up about dealing with trolls, admitting that while it bothered him early in his career, he has learnt to ignore the noise. “Clarifying things only leads to more drama. It’s a vicious cycle,” he said, adding that he now focuses on his work rather than responding to negativity.

Chaitanya’s upcoming film, Thandel, marks his third collaboration with director Chandoo Mondeti and his second pairing with Sai Pallavi after their hit film Love story. The survival drama, set to release on February 7, has already generated buzz, with fans eagerly waiting to see the duo’s chemistry on screen once again.

Having faced a mixed bag of box office results in recent years, Thandel is a crucial release for Chaitanya. Fans are eager to see if this film will mark a new chapter in his career and whether his continuous learning process pays off on the big screen.
