Shivangi Verma shares how travel has become a soulful escape and source of personal growth in her life. From solo adventures to shared journeys, she finds meaning in every destination.
In today’s hectic and demanding lifestyle, travel offers a much-needed pause—a chance to unwind, reflect, and rediscover both the world and oneself. For actress Shivangi Verma, known for her roles in Tera Ishq Mera Fitoor, Choti Sarrdaarni, the recently released Badass Ravi Kumar, and the upcoming Gaurishankar Gauharganj Wale, travel isn’t just a break from routine—it’s a deeply personal experience that adds meaning to her life.
Her love for travel, she says, didn’t arrive all at once. Shivangi Verma explains, “It didn’t develop instantly; it unfolded gradually over time, like a story revealing itself with every place I visited.”
Even as a child, Shivangi Verma found magic in movement. “I used to sit by the train window, just watching the landscapes change. That in-between feeling—neither here nor there—felt magical,” she recalls with a smile.
Despite her demanding career, she makes it a priority to travel at least once or twice a year. Shivangi Verma says, “Planning is tricky, but I’ve learned the art of carving out time. Whether it’s a quick weekend getaway or a longer trip timed with a break in my shooting schedule, I commit to making it happen. For me, traveling isn’t a luxury—it’s something essential to my well-being. It recharges me—creatively and emotionally.”
When it comes to the kind of trips she enjoys, Shivangi Verma embraces both solitude and companionship. She shares, “Some of my most memorable trips have been solo. You observe deeply and grow in ways that surprise you.”
But she also cherishes group adventures. Shivangi Verma adds, “There’s a different joy in shared laughter and bonding over misadventures.”
Shivangi Verma doesn’t travel to simply tick off popular landmarks. She says, “I’m somewhere in the middle. I don’t rush to tick off tourist spots. I like to feel the place—wander through streets, taste the food, and just soak it all in.”
Her travel bag always includes a few essentials that bring her comfort: a notebook, a slow-read book, a familiar-scented oil, and even her own pillowcase.
“It helps me sleep better,” Shivangi Verma laughs.
Looking ahead, her wishlist includes destinations like Iceland, Japan, and a leisurely train journey across Europe. But she’s in no hurry. “I’m not chasing places like a list. It’s the stories waiting there that excite me,” Shivangi Verma signs off warmly.
