Actress Anupriya Goenka, known for her stints in Sacred Games, Abhay, Criminal Justice, War, and Dishoom, to name a few, shares her nostalgic feelings in Kanpur, and some of her priceless moments.
For actress Anupriya Goenka, traveling is all about self-exploration, expanding her experiences, learning about new people, cultures, and languages, and expanding her perspective on the world.
“I have spent 6 years of my life in Kanpur and my extended family are still there,” shares the Asur actress. And so Kanpur means family in that sense to her, and there is obviously a nostalgic feeling to it that takes her back to her childhood days. “Kanpur is a heady mix of small town life that has amenities akin to metropolitan cities. Whenever I go back to the city, life just feels normal and simpler. It’s nice to indulge in some enriching conversations with family about business and other agendas of life. Also, we have a centennial old Dharamshala there so I often visit Kanpur for its maintenance and checking paperwork and all.”
She hasn’t really seen much of the country’s Northeast. While she was traveling to Bhutan last year, she only got to spend one day in Siliguri. She really wanted to investigate it thoroughly because it was more like just touching the base with a northeastern belt. Kerala is one spot that is really enchanted for her.
“I have travelled to Kochi and Coimbatore in South India which are just ethereal. Then Rajasthan is one place that really enthralled me. India is an amalgamation of so many different regions, cultures, lifestyles, cuisines, people etc that one needs a long break to tick off all beautiful experiences.”
India in totality is quite unique and she can’t really zero down to one place per se.
She believes that Kashmir is very special in that regard due to its breathtaking beauty. With its breathtaking history, culture, cooking styles, celebrations, individuals and obviously paradisiacal magnificence, she doesnt think any spot on the planet holds such a lot of excellence like Kashmir.
“Then there are utterly distinct parts like Hyderabad and Tamil Nadu where you find a different life all together compared to North India. Mumbai has an absolutely different charm and so does Delhi. With so many languages, cultures, dances, cuisines, tribes; I believe all of it makes India unique as a destination.”
Additionally, she is captivated with the way that we are the main earthy colored minorities individuals on the planet which makes us interesting once more. The Asian continent contains two or three additional locations, but we have the largest brown-colored population.”Music festivals of Northeast India are on my bucket list. I have attended Onam in the south and Durga Puja in Kolkata which are definitely culturally enriching festivals of India. I am really fascinated with the grandeur of Kumbh Mela too.”
She recently saw pictures of a large gathering of people from all walks of life.
The sight of millions of pilgrims, sadhus, and akharas congregating on the Ganges’ banks is breathtaking, and she longs to add it to her bucket list soon.”I still travel the way I used to travel before I was an actor.
Sometimes, my stylist helps me with airport looks so all the credit goes to them. Travelling for me is more about being from one place to another. Sometimes the travel time is short, sometimes it’s long, so I try to put myself in my comfortable self without being overly concerned about looks.”
