Posted by Telly express team
How many days was your abroad trip?
Initially it was of fifteen days but I extended it by five days. so, it was a twenty day trip.
Which all countries you visited?Which all cities you visited?
I went to New York, New Jersey and Manhatten.
How and why you decided to go alone?
Because I was not getting very nice company with me.
Do you relate to the Ranbir Kapoor of Ye Jawaani Hai Deewani who was on a self-discovery in the film?
I love that song Ilahi' and that particular scenes of the film because I love travelling and meeting new people. I love to taste vegetarian cuisines. Travelling gives broad minded approach to life. It brings newness in the monotonous life. I feel one should travel just to expand the thought process.
Which adventure sports you tried there? Describe the sky diving experience?
I went for sky diving and it was a fantastic experience. I went for shark diving too but they said it's off season. I tried number of times but they said they are off season. It is considered as one of the best adventure sports.
Did you miss India,while on holiday ?
I didn't miss anything because I don't like heat mush and it is the best season to roam in US. They have pleasant weather over there and sunshine during day and in the night the windows glow in winter cold. It was relaxing so I didn't miss anything. But again Mumbai is my first love. I have to come back to resume my work.
What is the best part of travelling alone and what is the worst part about travelling alone?
There's no worst part of travelling alone. There is no harm in travelling alone. It depends on personality. If I get bored in Mumbai, I would go to Goa, sit in a room or wander on beaches. It is perfectly fine by me. It depends on the individuals. I like to travel alone. I am not a hippie guy, there are some places where I love to go with my friends to chat. But there are places where I think that thank God I am alone. I have personality to makes friends wherever I go. I listen to people, I talk to them while travelling. I am not very introvert. I made a few friends from India who are studying over there, two guys from Manhatten and two friends from Pakistan. There are three to four new numbers on my whatsapp.
What cuisine you survived on in New york since you are a vegetarian ?
There are not many options. I tried fantastic salads and different omelettes I had black coffee which has now become a part of my regular breakfast. I am addicted to it after travelling to US. I tried English breakfast like pancakes which my friends i made there used to order for me as there are very few things for vegetarians. Mostly, I used to eat out only.
A daily soap actor hardly gets a long holiday..Will you cherish this holiday forever?
Every travelling experience gives me thrill and innovation as I have worked for one show for five consistent years. I wanted to travel to empty myself, I needed time with myself. Be it my visits to Bang, Leh-Ladakh or to US. I am a travel freak. I think everyone should travel in every six months and go on an international trip in a year. Travelling expands your thought process.
What changes Shashank Vyas finds in himself post Balika Vadhu?
I can sleep till late afternoon. I can workout more. Right now I am not in the state to miss camera and my work. We forget to live in fixing daily lives. In the process to make life comfortable, one should not forget to get the essence of life. I need to work also and to see the mountains, lakes, fresh air and cattle wandering in farms also. Mumbai has become concrete jungle. It is all about working, traffic, earning money and no time for self. One should balance life and work. One should take offs from work to recharge and breathe fresh air. I am feeling, fresh, empty, happy and loving the days I am living in. I am thinking in a broader manner. I am thinking more things apart from Naigaon.
Any hobbies you discovered?
I am focusing on working out and diet. I am in search of a nice dance classes. I am just driving here and there in town, to my friend's place, to coffee shops, to Worli sea-link, sitting and seeing ships going. It's a kind of search.
Where do you see yourself five years from now?
A nicer human being. My struggle in life is to be the nice human being, rest of the things are by-products and will follow.
