Drashti Dhami is busy with the wedding preparatio­ns for her close friend, who is getting married in August. “I am thoroughly enjoying taking her out to shop, and helping her out with wedding preparatio­ns. It is amazing to be there for her, and help her with the coordinati­on and preparatio­n for her big day. The wedding is taking place in Thiruvanan­thapuram, Kerala, and we will all go for it. All the experience I have gathered from my wedding will be used for her,” says the Pardes Mein Hai Mera Dil (PMHMD) actor.

Reliving her wedding experience­s, she says, “I was not a bridezilla during my wedding because I had delegated work, and I was chilling. This time, I am doing a lot of stuff for her, and it is nice that I am on a break, and I can be with her. Perhaps, it was destined that my show, PMHMD ended at this time and I am free for her wedding.” Drashti is in Goa currently for the bacheloret­te party of her friend.

Apart from helping out with the wedding preparatio­ns, the actor has been spending time with her mother and her nephew. “Though my show has ended, I am busy (laughs) and I like it this way. I went to my mum’s place for a few days and played with my nephew after a long time. Usually, when I am shooting, I get only a few hours here and there. But spending quality time with family is always fun.” She also plans to meet her friends, whom she hasn’t met in a long time. “I will spend a day with my daadi (paternal grandmothe­r) as well. She is very cool and never complains about me not meeting her as often, as she knows that the shooting schedules are crazy.”

Earlier this month, she returned from Crotia, where she had gone on a vacation along with her husband Neeraj Khemka and a few friends. “We are a gang of friends, and every year we plan a vacation together. This time, we took a 13 day holiday and a spent lot of time on the beach. I am a water baby and I enjoyed myself. I can give tips on what to do and what not to do in Croatia (laughs).”

It is nice that I am on a break and I can be with her. It was destined perhaps that the show ended at this time and I am free for her wedding. DRASHTI DHAMI, ACTOR
