Saumya shares, “I don’t usually like to drive as I get irritated with the traffic and the harsh sun bothers me as well. But in the monsoon, driving is fun. Maharashtra is so green and beautiful, and there are so many places to visit in and around Mumbai. I take short trips to Lonavala, Karjat, Nashik and Mahabaleshwar. We stop on the way to nibble on fried snacks!”

Karanvir talks about the first rainfall, “I love the monsoon and getting drenched in the rain. Pehli baarish mein bheegna hi hai, it’s a must! The one thing I always do during rains is gorge on butta. Swaad hi alag hota hai. My wife (actor) Teejay Sidhu and I also love visiting the hill stations like Matheran, Lonavala and Karjat. I have a farmhouse in Karjat and during monsoon, we often spend time there, enjoy the view and the weather.”

Tina shares her bond with some good food during monsoon, “I love gorging on bhajiayas, samosas and vada pav in the monsoon! Yes, you can eat them anytime of the year but they are best paired with the rains. I love relishing these delicacies with a hot cup of chai, while watching the rains lash at my window.”
