For those of you who dont know much about me , I am quite a traveller, a Happy Hippie! If you have a look at my social media , its more about travel than anything else. Travelling has always been my passion and also an integral part of my profession, lovingly known as Bollywood. Ive always wanted to do a travel show & Jeep gave me the ideal opportunity to be part of a show which has a perfect blend of both, Travel & Bollywood & I consider myself truly lucky because I couldnt have asked for a better show as my TV debut or a better companion than Jeep for my journey. I saw India through the eyes of Bollywoods biggest directors. The culture, food and scenic locations, not only inspired me but also taught me so much more about India. AXNs Jeep Bollywood Trails is an actors dream to relive the iconic locations featured in blockbuster films and its a delight for the audience to see how film directors think of a certain location and make them part of their stories. Its exciting for me to weave together these stories for the audience in a never been seen before way.
