wayfarer’s memories with purab kohli
What does it feel like to have a versatile personality? Perhaps, someone who could best
answer this would be Purab Kohli. Be it with his charismatic character in Hip Hip Hurray or
his true-to-life performance in films like Rock On and My Brother Nikhil or even dancing his
way to win your hearts on Jhalak Dikhlaja, Purab has done it all; and that too with complete
fervor and perseverance. But there is more to this charmer than just appearing on TV or the
big screen - his love for travelling! And that’s why, The Brown Scooter took Purab Kohli on a
ride to explore his travel chronicles…
TBS: Personal vacations, is it ever a
part of your plan?
PK: Honestly, my work makes me travel
so much, and I get to see so many new
places all the time, that when I'm free I
like to stay at home for a change. In the
past 2 years, I've been to so many
different parts of the world and on
hundreds of flights but I've taken only one
‘real’ personal travel-holiday.
TBS: You have travelled! Like seriously
travelled! So then which destination
makes it to your favourite list and why?
PK: I'm a traveler who has hosted a travel
show for 8 years, so that's the most
difficult question to answer. In general, I
like the mountains and we have some
fantastic ranges in India. The Northeast
fascinates me and so does Kashmir and
the beautiful Sahyadri range. The Amalfy
Coast in Italy is a must-visit, and the 3
drives you should not miss are the Costa
Del Sol in the south of Spain, the Garden
route in South Africa and Srinagar-to-Leh.
