After an intimate Christmas celebration, Soha Ali Khan jetted off to the Land of Maharajas aka Rajasthan, to ring in the New Year with warmth and joy. The actress, accompanied by her husband-actor Kunal Kemmu and their daughter Inaaya, chose to spend quality time in nature at the luxurious wilderness resort Chunda Shikar Odui, located just a few minutes from Udaipur.
A day ago, Soha dropped a video on Instagram, sharing glimpses of her forest escapade. From relishing authentic local dishes to exploring the jungle and engaging in fun activities, she and her loved ones appeared to have the time of their lives.
Her side note read, “Three days in the forests of Chunda Shikar Oudi (a mere 20-minute drive from Udaipur airport) — where time slowed, meals were delicious, mornings were for birdsong, and the jungle gently revealed itself. We were lucky enough to spot a leopard, but luck aside, what stayed with us was the warmth of the people, the care we were wrapped in, and the reminder that the forest isn't something to visit — it's something to protect. The perfect end to 2025 - grounded, grateful and quietly hopeful.”
