With the advent of Instagram and Twitter, we do not need to wait for our subscription to Filmfare to know what our favorite Bollywood film industry stars are up to. Every little update or story highlight on their feed gives us an insight into their glamorous lives so it is no surprise that people are curious to know about the favorite holiday locations of celebrities. Of course, it is not strange that a lot of film fanatics plan their holidays based on that information.
By curating the Instagram and Twitter highlights of Bollywood actors and actresses, it has come to light that the Maldives remains one of the top favorite holiday locations of the film industry. The pristine beaches, palm trees, and wonderful weather shoot up the Maldives to the top holiday destinations. Even after the corona lockdown eased, Maldives maintained its supreme position of being the number one holiday destination.
Since we are talking about Bollywood film industry stars, we simply cannot forget the King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, who by his own admission, loves to holiday in Dubai, Paris, and London. Shah Rukh Khan owns his own house in both London and Dubai and these places have been his recluse from his daily work life. London remains one of the top destinations for Bollywood celebrities as several stars like Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgn, Kajol, Badshah, Varun Dhawan, Shilpa Shetty have been photographed several times on the streets of the city.
Switzerland also features in the list of favorite holiday locations of the film industry which is not very surprising given that a host of Bollywood films have been shot in the snow-clad mountains of Zurich. Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, Ranveer Singh are among those Bollywood film industry stars who love to holiday in the mountains.
You can also add New York to the list as many stars like Alia Bhatt, Karan Johar, and Arjun Kapoor have a strong liking to the city. In fact, a lot of Karan Johar’s films have been shot in New York including My name is Khan which was largely based in the USA.
Many Bollywood actors and actresses have also been appointed as tourism ambassadors for several foreign countries. Dubai’s #BeMyGuest campaign has been endorsed by none other than King Khan and Parineeti Chopra is the only female on Australia’s panel to promote tourism of Australian cities. Ranveer Singh has been endorsing Switzerland’s #InLOVEwithZURICH campaign since 2017 and Sidharth Malhotra has been New Zealand’s tourism ambassador since 2015. Not only do the stars promote these countries on their time, but they are also often caught vacationing in these foreign abodes. The presence of these stars definitely boosts up the footfalls as many people seem to enjoy the same lifestyle and luxury that their favorite stars enjoy.
No doubt that foreign countries provide well-needed privacy to Bollywood actors and actresses but there are several celebrities who love to enjoy their time in India. Among those celebrities is Salman Khan who has his own farmhouse in Panvel where he enjoys all the privacy in the world. Goa remains one of the most favored destinations as stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Bipasha Basu, and Sonakshi Sinha are often spotted on the Goan beaches. John Abraham admits to enjoying the wilderness of the Himalayas and Aamir Khan uploaded a picture on Instagram in Arunachal Pradesh with his wife, Kiran.
This list is exhaustive as celebrities have often been spotted in various cities around the globe. Priyanka Chopra, who is now based in Los Angeles, has been photographed in Tuscany, Akshay Kumar in Cape Town, Disha Patani in the Maldives, and so on. So your best bet at catching a celebrity life is merely a matter of chance.
