 Breaks aren’t common in the industry. But once you get one, you ought
to make the best use of them. Kunal Verma, who’s out of action since
Tujh Sangh Preet Layai Sajna went off air, returned from a North India
tour recently. The actor visited the famous Vaishno Devi temple before
travelling to Amritsar and Agra.
TellyCafe caught up with Verma and asked if there is any unfulfilled
wish which he wants the Goddess to grant.
“No. God has already given more than enough to me. There was nothing
on my wish list this time. I went purely to see the beauty of the place.
This was just the second time I’ve been to Vaishno Devi. I couldn’t go
in the famous cave. The queue was just too big,” Verma said.
Verma, who walked all the way up to the mountain, must have been
hounded by fans.
“Most people gazed at me, unsure whether they were looking at the
actor. My friends though told them, I was indeed their Yug. They even
signed autographs for me. Though, I didn’t wish for this, as I was on
religious visit, it was heart warming to see the warmth shown by the
people,” replied the actor.
"The only unpleasant experience was the khacchar ride. Khachcar is
the animal borne out of mating between a horse and a donkey. Travelling
down from the mountain on a horse is never an easy ride. Without a
proper and thick cushion, an individual will be left with a sore, sore
back, especially your... rear," he adds with a farawar look in his eyes.
“I really couldn’t understand whether this (animal) was a donkey or a
horse. The khachchar ride was perhaps the only tough part of my Vaishno
Devi journey. Half through the return journey, I got off from the
khachcar and walked all my way down. I realized that when coming down
the slope, it’s better to walk. The night was tough as we gave ourselves
a much needed massage and didn’t wake up till late next morning,” Verma
sighed.
Verma and friends then visited Amritsar and Agra before returning to
Mumbai on 10 May.
