Entertainment News: Sai Manjrekar, the 'Dabangg 3' actress and daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Manjrekar, recently shared some interesting insights about her memorable trip to Finland and her family. In an interview with the media, Sai revealed that Finland's cold and peaceful environment brought her profound tranquility. She also disclosed a unique travel habit of her father, Mahesh Manjrekar — whenever he travels abroad, he carries garlic chutney in his pocket!
Peace Found in Finland's Cold
Sai Manjrekar shared that Finland was not just a trip for her, but an experience of self-reflection. She said, "A lot was happening in my life at that time. I wanted to spend some moments with myself. Finland's cold, silence, and simple way of life gave me inner peace. The people there were extremely helpful and humble, and their warmth, even in that cold weather, touched my heart."
The actress shared a memorable moment, stating, "We were in a glass igloo. The lights were turned off, and the Northern Lights scattered across the sky. Just then, a shooting star passed by, and we closed our eyes and made wishes. It was 11:11 on the clock. Those few seconds became magic for me forever."
Every Journey Brings Me Closer to My Better Version - Sai
For Sai, travel is not just about sightseeing, but a means of understanding herself. She said, "When I travel, comfort or luxury is not my priority. I want to see every corner of every place, experience every feeling, no matter how challenging it might be. Travel is a tool for self-development for me; every journey brings me closer to my better version."
She also stated that during her travels, she realizes that a person's true strength lies in their simplicity and patience. Recalling childhood family vacations, Sai said, "We often went on family trips – mom, dad, sister, brother; everyone had their own preferences. These journeys taught us love, understanding, and adjustment. I believe that traveling with family deepens relationships."
Mahesh Manjrekar's Unique Travel Habit — Garlic Chutney in His Pocket
Sai smilingly recounted, "One thing I learned from my father, and it always sticks with me. Whenever Dad travels abroad, he keeps garlic chutney in his pocket. He believes that outside food is bland. Now, I've adopted this habit from him too. I always carry something spicy in my bag — sometimes chilies, sometimes Tabasco, sometimes chutney. Perhaps it's not just about the taste, but a small reminder of home that I keep with me." This amusing revelation offered fans a glimpse into the father-daughter bond, where the flavors of tradition and love are felt together.
Sai Manjrekar believes that travel adds depth to both her acting and her thought process. She said, "When I visit new places, meet new people, and experience new cultures, my perspective broadens. True creativity emerges only when the mind is calm, away from the daily hustle and bustle. Therefore, for me, travel is not a break, but a new vision."
