Actor Gautam Handa known for playing the prominent role of Karan in the TV show Imlie, enjoys Road tripping. Today on Road Trip Day, he shared his passion for going on solo road trips.
He said, "There’s something quietly powerful about taking a long drive alone. No plans. No conversations to keep up. Just you, the road, and the low hum of the engine. In a world that rarely slows down, solo drives offer a rare kind of peace—one where you’re not expected to be anywhere or be anyone but yourself."
He continued, "Driving alone strips life down to the essentials. You roll the windows down, set the music to your mood, and let the road carry you. It’s not about reaching a destination. It’s about the drive itself—the stretch of highway, the shifting scenery, the rhythm of your thoughts syncing with the movement of the car."
He added, "When you’re driving with company, the focus is often outward. You’re talking, navigating, coordinating. But when you’re alone, it turns inward. It’s where thoughts get clearer, emotions settle, and decisions that once felt heavy begin to untangle. You start noticing things: the way the light hits the dashboard, how the road curves against a hillside, the silence between songs. These little moments remind you that peace isn’t always found in stillness—sometimes, it’s found in motion."
The actor recalls his first to Kasauli and reveals, "I remember my first road trip was when I was in my early 20s. And it was an amazing experience to Kasauli, a beautiful hill station in Himachal Pradesh. I will never forget the memories I made during the trip. With stunning mountain views where I felt like reconnecting with myself."
Gautam also shared his last trip was to Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga Temple. "My last road trip was to Trimbakeshwar Jyotirling Temple, being a devotee of lord Shiva it was a much-awaited one. And I'm blessed to have experienced the blessings and enjoy the atmosphere filled with devotion and dedication."
Gautam is known for featuring in shows like Gumrah, CID, Aahat, Yeh Hai Mohabbatein, Zindagi Abhi Baki Hai Mere Ghost. He was last seen in Pyaar Kii Raahein, before which he played the negative role of Kundan in the TV show Mil Ke Bhi Hum Na Mile.
