Mumbai, July 25 (NationPress) Actor Hrishikesh Pandey has expressed his deep affection for the monsoon season, highlighting its significance in his life.
He explained that for him, it's not merely about the rain—it's a period to revisit cherished childhood memories, enjoy simple pleasures, and rekindle the carefree spirit of his youth. Hrishikesh shared with IANS, “I don’t shy away from traveling in the rains—rather, I embrace it. People may chuckle, but when it pours, I relish stepping outside, getting soaked, and engaging in all the fun I used to have as a child. I’ve always maintained that no matter how old you get, that childlike spirit should remain intact. I just head out and have a good time—whether I’m alone or with friends, it makes no difference.”
“When the rain falls, I transform back into that same kid, rushing outside, getting drenched, and reliving all the joy I used to experience. Age is irrelevant; the exuberance of childhood during the monsoon should never fade. The aroma of wet earth, splashing through puddles, and the sound of raindrops on foliage all evoke nostalgia and remind me of my college days… how my friends and I would get soaked while heading home, playing football in the rain.”
The 'CID' star elaborated, “As soon as I get a day off or wrap up a shoot, I pack my bags and hit the road. Whether it’s to Mahabaleshwar, Matheran, Khandala, Lonavala, Igatpuri, or even Goa—I adore all of it. The mountains, the sea, the rivers—they all beckon me. I simply grab my essentials, jump into my car, and drive. Sometimes I fly, other times I drive. I never hesitate.”
Describing his travel essentials, Hrishikesh noted, “My mobile is always with me—for capturing moments and other necessities. And I can’t forget my swimming trunks and comfortable outdoor attire. I bring what I need and just go. I don’t linger or overthink. When nature calls, I respond.”
On the professional front, Hrishikesh is well-known for his performances in shows like “Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii,” “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai,” “Bekaboo,” and “CID,” among others.
