In an Exclusive Chat With Adotrip, the Suave Nandish Sandhu Gave Away Everything He Loves About Travel

They say a man can only do so much. However, this doesn’t apply to Nandish Sandhu, a popular Indian Television star who is also a wanderer at heart and loves to explore and travel. His love for travel is such that he doesn’t let pass even a single opportunity to pack his bags and kickstart a journey whenever possible. Recently, in an exclusive chat with Adotrip, he spilt the beans on everything that he does and loves about the magical experience of travel. 

When we asked him about his travel mantra, this was what the handsome man had to say, “If we wait until we are free, there will never be scope for travelling, ever! So basically my travel mantra is to make time out of my busy routine no matter how hard it is. I am passionate about my work but sometimes a shift is required, so I swap it with travel. I like to stay at a place beyond my shooting schedule so that I can absorb the environment, basic nuances and gastronomical culture of the place. This helps me a lot in my profession also as the characteristics of each place get registered in my head and help me weave diverse characters.”

And as he was born and brought up in Rajasthan, we had to ask him something about it and we did. Talking about his love for Rajasthan he added, “Dholpur in Rajasthan keeps me connected to roots. It is my native place and my parents, school friends, relatives live there. The most cherished school days in Dholpur keeps that little child alive in me. I visit there once or twice every year and make sure to visit my school every time. Back in Mumbai, I often feel nostalgic. I miss the fragrance of Rajasthani specialities, those piping hot samosas, kachoris, the soft texture of milk cake, those mithais. Drooling ya! The aroma of food that fills the bustling streets, you don’t find it anywhere in the world. That fragrance keeps me connected to roots.”

We also asked him which is his favourite travel destination in India and this is what he had to share, I am a beach person. Calm, azure blue waters captivate my senses. It feels serene and meditative, I feel spiritually connected whenever I sit beside the crashing waves. Goa is close to Mumbai so it’s a quickie getaway if the beach is on my mind. Besides that, the place that is brimming on my bucket list is Leh Ladakh. My army friends posted there tell so many beautiful things about snow-capped peaks, crystal clear skies, breathtaking lakes that I am already in awe and looking forward to visiting the fascinating place in India.

After this, we thought to throw an interesting question to him, so, we asked him to tell us about a destination in India where he could spend his entire life and he instantly answered, “Honestly, I don’t want to restrict myself to any specific place. I might sound nomadic but that’s not how I want to live, I rather wish to have property, maybe a small cottage or something in every corner of the globe. I love the tranquil beaches of Andamans, I love the mighty mountains of Ladakh, I would rather make Mumbai as my base and keep rolling to places all over.”

And did he ever met any interesting person on his trip? “This was what he had to answer, Everyone is interesting in their own unique way. I have met people from different walks of life and knowing about different professions, cultures is always intriguing. I once met a well-dressed man on a plane; we discussed schooling, life, our journeys, and all. I told him about my schooling from Military school and how I always aspired to be a fighter pilot who eventually became an actor. We exchanged quite a few stories along the way and whilst deboarding, he told me that he is an air force pilot. Never met him post that meeting on the flight, but he is one interesting person I met while travelling.”
