It is no wonder than in real life as well, some of the power couples of Bollywood chose exotic and picturesque locales for their own honeymoons. In case you would like to find out where some of these popular celebrities went, read on.
Shahrukh Khan And Gauri Khan - Darjeeling
Easily the ‘IT’ couple of Bollywood, King Khan and his Queen Gauri got married before he achieved his present superstardom. The quirky anecdote behind their honeymoon is that since he could not afford to go to the originally promised destination of Paris, they both went to the scenic town of Darjeeling right at the foothills of the magnificent Himalayas. Easily accessible, this town boasts of great views, great food and great people with incredible views of several Himalayan peaks.
Aishwarya Rai And Abhishek Bachchan - Europe
When you have the combination of a Bachchan heir and a former Miss World, nothing short of an opulent honeymoon would suffice. Europe was their chosen destination. We all have seen enough of Europe through romantic Bollywood songs to recognize the splendor and several popular destinations there. Once in Europe, it is rather easy to move around and cover multiple countries and tourist spots, which is one reason why many people curate packages spread over enough days to cover different places.
Shahid Kapoor And Mira Rajput Kapoor - London
Shahid Kapoor has been the representation of youthful energy in Bollywood for several years. When he got married to the equally enthusiastic Mira Rajput, the couple chose London as their honeymoon destination. London is a heady combination of affluence and old fashioned with several romantic activities to partake in, thus making it a very popular spot for honeymooners with a diverse range of preferences and budgets in mind. Here you can indulge in Michelin star rated restaurants, visit several clubs or museums or choose offbeat areas for a more mellow time together.
Kareena Kapoor Khan And Saif Ali Khan - Gstaad, Switzerland
One would expect the junior Nawab and the queen of Bollywood to choose nothing but a luxurious and royal honeymoon. They didn’t disappoint when they chose the gorgeous scenery of Gstaad in Switzerland to visit after their nuptials. This location in the magnificent Swiss Alps has already serenaded scores of international celebrities and royalty alike. Gstaad has been immortalised by the iconic Indian movie Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (DDLJ). So much so, that there are several authorized Bollywood tours being offered at Gstaad and are a hit with people across different nationalities. This also goes on to show the global appeal of Bollywood.
Vidya Balan and Siddharth Roy Kapur: Caribbean Islands
The Caribbean Islands have an allure like no other. This collection of pocketed islands is where the rich and the famous go to take a break and escape the public eye for a bit. When it comes to the power couple of one of India’s most awarded female actors Vidya Balan and Bollywood production tycoon Siddharth Roy Kapur, it is not surprising that the Caribbean was where they chilled on their honeymoon. With pristine beaches, clear blue waters and rolling green hills, the Caribbean Islands truly make for the perfect place to come close together as a couple. The pace of life is slower and more relaxed here. One can truly recharge and declutter their head in these islands.
Lara Dutta and Mahesh Bhupathi: Bali
Mahesh Bhupathi is one half of the multi-tournaments winning tennis duo dubbed ‘The Indian Express’. Lara Dutta is a former Miss Universe. This couple chose one of the most romantic destinations of Bali, an island in Indonesia. Bali has been, in recent times, one of the most popular honeymoon destinations among the millennials. Easy to get to, more affordable than many other places, hospitable people, gorgeous views and natural scenery; these are just some of the reasons for its wide appeal. It is always abuzz with tourists from several countries and is, especially, a hit with the water-babies (people who love the sea and beaches).
