Neel Samarthh: Sometimes doing nothing in a beautiful place is the best way to feel it
For actor Neel Samarthh, who's currently winning hearts with his role in Sabse Bada Rupaiya and gearing up for his upcoming web series, travelling isn't just a hobby — it's a personal journey that nourishes his soul. 'To be honest, I didn't even realize when I fell in love with travelling,' he shares. 'It started with curiosity, wanting to know what life feels like in other parts of the world. The turning point was my first international trip. The feeling of landing somewhere new, hearing a different language, getting a little lost, trying new food… it was exciting.' Despite his hectic shooting schedules, Neel makes sure to travel at least once every year. 'Breaks are not just a luxury, they're a necessity,' he says. 'I don't wait for the perfect time. I block my dates and plan work around it. Sometimes I wrap up back-to-back shoots just to earn that escape. It's always worth it.' Talking about his travel preferences, Neel adds, 'It really depends on my mood. I've done solo trips where I've walked whole cities on foot without a plan. It felt freeing. But I also enjoy travelling with people who bring good energy.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Recalling one of his favourite trips, Neel shares, 'My recent trip to Paris was unforgettable. The city has a soul of its own. We were a small group, but the memories felt larger than life — sunrise at the Eiffel Tower, random street musicians, getting lost in alleys… it felt like living inside a movie.' Calling himself a "relaxed explorer", Neel confesses, 'I don't like rushing through tourist spots. I prefer finding a hidden bookshop or sitting at a quiet café. Sometimes, doing nothing in a beautiful place is the best way to feel it.' As for his next adventures? 'A road trip through the Scottish Highlands or spending a whole month exploring Italy, town by town — that's on my list.'

Simaran Kaur breaks down on screen in a one-take emotional scene for Jamai No. 1
Popular drama Jamai No. 1 continues to engage viewers with its high-voltage storylines and emotionally charged moments. In the latest twist, the narrative takes a dramatic turn as Neel (played by Abhishek Malik) is wrongfully arrested in a shocking molestation case filed by Sayli (Sonal Vengurlekar). Amid the chaos, Simaran Kaur , who portrays Neel's devoted wife Riddhi, delivers a powerful, heart-wrenching performance as she fights to prove her husband's innocence and uncover the truth. What made this particular scene truly stand out was the emotional realism Simaran brought to it. To capture the helplessness, anger, and desperation of a woman standing up for her loved one, Simaran tapped deep into her emotional reservoir. The intense sequence was shot in a single take—a rare feat, especially for a scene that demanded such vulnerability and emotional depth. Known for her methodical approach to acting, Simaran took time to prepare in solitude, locking herself in her room before the shot to fully absorb her character's emotional turmoil. Simaran said, 'The moment I read the script, I knew it was going to be a challenging yet special scene. I didn't want to 'act' it—I wanted to feel every bit of what the character was going through. It wasn't easy. I locked myself in my room before the shot, read my script, stayed quiet, and allowed myself to truly absorb the gravity of the situation. I imagined what it would be like to see someone you love being accused of something so devastating—and to feel completely powerless. The emotional rush just took over, and I surrendered completely to the scene. I'm glad the team captured it in one take. As an actor, these are the moments that test your limits, but also leave you deeply fulfilled.' Simaran's raw and moving portrayal adds yet another layer of authenticity to Jamai No. 1, making it a must-watch for viewers. In the upcoming episodes, it will be interesting to see how Riddhi fights back to clear Neel's name. Will she succeed in uncovering the truth, or will Sayli and Kanchan (Papia Sengupta) manage to drive a wedge between the couple?
