Ishq Jabariya Actress Pranoti Pradhan on World Tourism Day: Traveling is the perfect way to break the monotony of daily life

Traveling allows everyone to learn new things, create great memories, have amazing experiences, and stay happy. On this World Tourism Day actress Pranoti Pradhan, who plays the role of Madhumita in the Sun Neo’s show ‘Ishq Jabariya,’ has opened up on her love for traveling and how it helps her in this creative field of entertainment.

Sharing her memories of her favorite travel destination, Paronit Pradhan shared, “London is my all-time favorite travel destination because it’s perfect for both group and solo travel. The city’s excellent infrastructure, reliable transportation, and safety make exploring easy, even on your own. I love the cloudy, pleasant weather, and it’s a relief not to worry about the heat. London also offers a beautiful blend of nature and history—Hyde Park is a peaceful escape with its lakes and greenery, while historic sites like Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace bring its rich heritage to life. Though a bit expensive, the experience is truly worth it.”

The Ishq Jabariya actress also revealed how travelling has helped her in her professional life.  She said, “Traveling is the perfect way to break the monotony of daily life. Even in creative jobs, routine can become dull. A short trip refreshes your mind, like pressing a ‘reset’ button, helping you recharge for the months ahead. It also brings a sense of mental peace, especially when you spend time in nature. You can reflect, clear your thoughts, and work on your mental health. Travel also teaches you how small we are compared to the vastness of the world, keeping egos in check and reminding us to stay grounded.”

Pranoti Pradhan plays Madhumita, Gulki’s stepmother, who tries to control her and hinder her dreams. Ishq Jabariya, airing on Sun Neo, is a heartfelt love story featuring Gulki (Siddhi Sharma), a vibrant young woman with big dreams. Her journey takes unexpected turns as she faces various challenges. The show stars Kamya Panjabi, Siddhi Sharma, and Lakshay Khurana in prominent roles.
