SHIKHA DUGGAL
Celebrities from Tollywood decided to celebrate the start of the new year in an exotic foreign location. As is customary each year, our favourite celebrities opted to say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new one at Koh Samui, a gorgeous location across the world, rather than Hyderabad. Everybody from Sukumar to Seerat Kapoor was spotted having a grand time on New Year’s Eve! At that point, we considered it Run Raja Run Fame for our weekly travelogue feature.
“After a really long time and a busy year, all of us who are actors are outsiders, but to me, they are the closest friends of mine, and we managed to come together to celebrate the new year together. I am grateful that all of us could take our days off and visit Koh Samui together. The happiness quotient in itself was togetherness! With such hectic schedules this year, it was just not possible for us to travel together,” she begins.
The actress went on to speak about an opulent resort and an exotic location: “It was such an open-minded atmosphere on this trip because it wasn’t just us girls from Tollywood taking over at a faraway destination. Jackky was with us, and so was Bhumi. On the excursion, we had some novices with us! Here it is, for those who have always believed that actors and actresses couldn’t be friends. Touchwood, we all have such wonderful friendships. The girls were quite covert about their plans and highly interested in them from day one. Not one of us revealed the truth! We were all always texting each other to see how our dates were going. Phew, there were no cameras and a sense of family. We were overjoyed to enter that state of renewal without being papped.”
We have to say, what a spectacular event! We watched the finest fusion of Tollywood and Bollywood in a glamourous extravaganza on their Instagram pages, as Seerat had already ushered us in. She said, “One barrier was language. We were all actors, which is why it was so funny in Thailand. We couldn’t stop rolling around on the floor and were all truly speaking in their accents. We also rode in tuk-tuks! I was thrilled that we could accomplish anything without having to worry about our star power. We were fully embracing their local way of life.”
Giving up some fascinating information about the colours of the hotel as well, Seerat revealed, “We stayed in a villa! unique property—the cuisine was delicious. The coconut gelato was exceptionally fresh. A tonne of seafood as well. Since we are all foodies, we all chose the best! We also attempted some water sports while it was occasionally raining.”

A celeb trip that made us all want to spend a similar vacation with our friends was Seerat Kapoor’s recent trip to Koh Samui. For our exclusive segment of Travel Tales, the actress takes The Pioneer through her travel experience.
They continued by jumping into the ocean and yachting. “I was in the middle of this calm ocean, swimming, kayaking, and doing other things. We would often be approached by our neighbours from the other villas, who would strike up a conversation. Since we were all essentially exhausted physically, we decided to take a vacation to an island.”
