Actor Paras Arora, who plays Jeetu in &TV’s supernatural horror comedy Gharwali Pedwali, recently took a refreshing break from his hectic work schedule to enjoy some much needed “Me Time” amidst the picturesque hills of Shimla. Known for his dedication and packed shooting calendar, Paras made the most of this short getaway, where the serene mountains, crisp air, and stunning landscapes offered him a rejuvenating escape.
Sharing his experience, Paras Arora aka Jeetu, says, “With back-to-back shoots and long working hours, it becomes very important to occasionally disconnect and recharge. Shimla has always been on my travel list, and I am so glad I finally made it. There is something incredibly calming about the mountains the fresh air, the slow pace of life, and the breathtaking views instantly make you feel lighter. During my stay, I explored some of the city’s most charming spots, including the iconic Mall Road, where I enjoyed long evening walks, and the historic Christ Church, admiring its timeless architecture. I also visited Kufri to soak in panoramic views of the snow-kissed mountains and spend quiet moments amidst nature. Watching the sunrise over the hills was a surreal experience it felt as if time had slowed down just for me.” He further adds, “No trip is complete without indulging in local flavours, and I made sure to savour Himachali delicacies during my stay from piping hot momos and thukpa in the chilly weather to traditional dishes like siddu. Enjoying warm food with a mountain view felt truly special. This short trip helped me reset mentally and emotionally. The serenity and untouched beauty of Shimla remind you to pause and appreciate life’s simple pleasures. I am heading back to work feeling refreshed, grateful, and creatively energized.”
