SHRUTI SETH: Actor, VJ, television anchor, model
This self-confessed travel buff enjoys wandering around and getting a taste of the local life. Her uncle played a key role in igniting her passion. "My uncle is an out-and-out roadie. As a child, I visited various parts of India with him." Shruti says travel gives her an opportunity to explore different dimensions of her personality. She has fond memories of her first trip to the US last year where she revelled in the sights and sounds at St Augustine, Orlando and Miami. "I almost became a child again at Disneyworld. I also saw some fantastic Broadway musicals and a performance by Cirque de Soleil." Shruti is now raring to explore the Indian north-east. Ask her how many times she would like to be out each year and she says: "In a Utopian world, I would have ended up hitting the road every third weekend. Sadly, in the real world I have to contend with year-end trips."
