Himansh Kohli
Yaariyan (2014) actor Himansh Kohli was in Venice for a music video shoot. On his return from a shopping spree, he realised that the car in which his baggage was kept had been vandalised. The actor was left with only his wallet and mobile phone, which he was carrying. The Indian embassy helped him with the documents to travel to Mumbai.
"I was travelling to Venice by road and on the way before exiting Switzerland, I saw this place called Fox Town. I couldn't resist stopping there for one last time before leaving. I was in the country to shoot my upcoming track 'Mai Jinna Tenu Vekhi Jaavan' which we shot at Milan and Potenza. I entered the place, parked my vehicle at the designated parking and came back after an hour. When I reached, I saw that my car was completely open - the boot and all of the doors were open. I rushed towards the car, but it had nothing in it. I lost a lot of luggage, priced possessions which I especially got for my shoot and for travel like clothes, bags, watches, accessories, etc. All my papers, including my passport, visa documents, identity proofs, and some cash was missing too. Of course, I lost everything that I had shopped recently too," said Himansh.
He adds, "As soon as I realized what had happened, I went numb for a bit. It's traumatic to lose all your belongings, especially in a foreign land. It wasn't like I was callous, but what had to happen, happened. I quickly called up the Police, who suggested that I contact the Indian embassy since I had lost all my travel documents. I went there and after much hassle, I was provided with an Emergency Certificate to be able to go to Milan because that was my final stop of the trip."
Although he is trying to cope with the loss, Himansh is still in a state of shock. "Right now, I'm stressed because I will be stuck here till I don't get my passport. I'm still very upset about the loss of my belongings. A lot of things were really special to me," he says.
Himansh Kohli, who made his Bollywood debut in 2014 with Yaariyan, was last seen in Ittefaq. He played the role of Inspector Gautam Kohli in the film, which starred Sidharth Malhotra, Sonakshi Sinha and Akshaye Khanna in pivotal roles.
The actor is a complete travel enthusiast and constantly keeps sharing videos and pictures on the social media platform for his fans. While in Italy, the actor shared a TikTok video of his, where he was seen enjoying the Lake Como view and dancing to the tunes of the song 'Love Me Thoda Aur'.
