to collaborate with brands or get sponsored tickets to movies.

I also love travelling and I am a big fan of solo travels. There’s
something liberating about travelling alone, without having
to worry about matching timetables or catering to someone
else’s preferences, doing whatever you want, whenever you
want, however you want is a luxury not many Indian women
can boast of .
As a self-proclaimed travel enthusiast, I’ve had the privilege of
exploring various destinations across India, from Pune, Kolkata,
Bengaluru to Mumbai and of course, the ever-popular Goa.

I could have included my Europe trip(flaunting again) Banaras,
Prayagraj, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Udaipur but I had a strict co-
traveller (my husband) with me. Travelling with husbands’ I tell
you, is as tough as talking to a wall. The Man just won’t listen.
