Rakul Preet Singh found an ideal way to get rid of lockdown blues before work comes calling again—a week-long getaway with her family to Maldives, where she gave a go at scuba diving. "This had been on my to-do list for long. My first dive was beautiful. It has a meditative quality. While I have tried snorkeling before, there is a whole world out there [as far as water-sports is concerned]. Aquatic life is bustling with colours. You can hear your breath, and that is calming. My dive lasted 40 minutes, and we saw beautiful coral, fishes, and sea turtles. I am raring to go on another dive again," says the actor, who marked her parents' 31st anniversary at the holiday.
