Actress Gauahar Khan who is currently shooting for a new show in Bhopal speaks to mid-day.com about travel, husband Zaid's studio Atrangz where she is often spotted, and other upcoming projects.

Zaid and you clearly love travelling, which are the destinations you recommend?
We travel a lot internationally and have been married just 10 months now, so there are a lot of places to explore. In India I love Darjeeling, its one place that is so unexplored and people should visit it much more. Also, Siliguri in West Bengal, it's the most clean, green and lovely area. India has so many destinations that are underrated.

You are often spotted at Atrangz; how did the project come to life?
Atrangz was Zaid, his brother Awez, Anam and Nagma Mirajkar's idea, four creators who have been putting up their work on social media for a while now. Being a family they came up with the idea of Atrangz that is a space for content creation in itself. The studio is unique and one of its kind in Mumbai. Designing wise, it's completely Zaid's baby he does all the designing and ideation. As a team they are fabulous.

Where do we see you next?
I'm in Bhopal shooting for a new show. I have a big release coming up next year, besides that I've completed a short film, so there are a lot of things to look forward to. I only pick up characters that will have some impact on my career it's not just to earn some bucks.
