Actor Himanshu Soni makes sure to take regular holidays to rejuvenate himself. His recent trip to Bodh Gaya was truly amazing and helped the actor reflect on himself. "I really enjoyed my trip to Bodh Gaya. It was so relaxing and rejuvenating. We are so busy with our work in Mumbai, that we have no time left for self-reflection. I feel trips like these give you that much needed time to reflect on the direction you are going in life and think of what needs to be changed," says the actor.

The actor adds that he visited Bodh Gaya for the first time and loved it. "This was my first visit there. I could feel a lot of positivity in myself when I visited Bodh Gaya. It is a very important pilgrimage site for Buddhists. The place itself is so positive. I was a different person when I left the place. I would love to go again."

Himanshu says that travelling is very important in an actor's life. "An actor's work is all about living a character. I feel travelling helps you gain a lot of perspective. You begin to look at life differently and that is very important for an actor," he says.

The actor is back now. "I am back home now after a truly relaxed trip. Such spiritual trips are very important to keep you grounded in life. I will be planning another trip there soon, and this time I will take my family along," he says.
