Stars would like to take some rest and also want to be alone to work or decide on some things. Whenever Karan Johar needs to take a break, he takes a flight to New York. Besides being his favourite holiday destination, NYC also happens to be the place where KJo writes most of his film scripts — now that’s how you make the most of work and leisure.
Maybe Karan’s love for New York City is the reason he shot his films Kal Ho Naa Ho and Kabhie Alvida Naa Kehna over there. If you didn’t know, he wrote the script for Student of the Year while he was in New York. Surprisingly, unlike many in Bollywood who opt for secluded places to take a vacation and stay away from the glare of publicity, Karan is not a fan of quiet places.
London tops the list of Shah Rukh Khan’s favourite destinations, he often spends his holidays in Dubai and Paris. For many years now, SRK has been taking an annual summer break and goes for a family vacation to London, where he even owns a house.
Now, Shah Rukh’s son Aryan is studying in London, and the actor often visits the place. SRK has also shot in London for various films, including Jab Tak Hai Jaan.
“It’s so nice to be in London. My favourite place and my favourite city in all ways and things that I like, including releasing the movie. My films belong here, and so even if I hadn’t come, you’d all enjoy the film,” Khan was quoted as saying.
Sallu bhai is known for spending his New Year’s Eve in Dubai — it remains his favourite holiday spot, where he is mostly joined by his friends and family.
Another place where Salman loves to chill is his farmhouse in Panvel, a few hours’ drive from Mumbai.
The actor often throws parties at his farmhouse that are star-studded affairs. The Panvel retreat is not only the best getaway for him to relax after wrapping up a hectic film shoot, but he also feels that it’s refreshing to feast on the vegetables and fruits from his own garden.
“My work takes me to far-flung places, but when left to myself, I love to drive down to Panvel,” Salman was quoted as saying.
