14 Times Bollywood Discovered Nature

When
not
facing
the
arc
lights
or
gracing
the
red
carpet,
stars
love
to
catch
their
breath
far
away
from
the
maddening
crowds
in
the
lap
of
nature.

There’s
something
calming
about
seeing
Bollywood’s
busiest
soaking
in
the
sun
and
serenity.

glimpses
just

own
words,
her
Pahadi
soul

get
enough
of
‘a
little
bit
of
flowers,
a
little
bit
of
sun,
and
a
whole
lot
of
happiness.’

immortal
words:
‘A
thing
of
beauty
is
a
joy
forever.’
