Sara Ali Khan Travel Style: 7 picture-perfect escapes from Swiss Alps to ancient canyons

The travel diaries of Sara Ali Khan often offer a glimpse into a style that is as relaxed as it is expressive. Whether she is exploring mountain landscapes, unwinding by the sea or taking in historic architecture, the actor tends to opt for outfits that balance practicality with playful fashion choices. From the Swiss Alps to AlUla and Istanbul, here are seven travel moments that showcase Saras approach to holiday dressing. Alpine serenity and mountain chic Against the Swiss Alps, Sara opted for a layered travel look featuring wide-leg checked trousers, a grey tank top and a yellow knit casually worn over her shoulders. A straw visor and gold earrings completed the outfit, adding a polished touch without taking away from the practical mountain-ready aesthetic. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sara Ali Khan (@saraalikhan95) Desert oasis elegance In AlUla, Sara brought a more resort-focused aesthetic to the desert landscape. She was seen by an infinity pool in a textured metallic two-piece paired with a wide-brimmed sunhat. The combination offered a contrast to the surrounding sandstone formations while keeping the look firmly rooted in vacation dressing. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sara Ali Khan (@saraalikhan95) Sun-drenched desert monoliths For another outing in the AlUla landscape, Sara chose an all-white linen ensemble comprising wide-leg trousers and a button-down shirt. Dark sunglasses and a white visor added a casual finish, while the monochrome palette stood out against the warm tones of the canyon. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sara Ali Khan (@saraalikhan95) Istanbul views and playful prints Overlooking Istanbuls Blue Mosque, Sara opted for a youthful combination of a graphic cropped T-shirt, asymmetrical denim mini skirt and bright pink slides. A relaxed silhouette and minimal accessories kept the outfit casual, allowing the historic setting to remain central to the frame. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sara Ali Khan (@saraalikhan95) Whimsical wanderlust A more layered look came during a fairground outing, where Sara wore a colourful crochet cardigan with a flowing denim tiered skirt and knit beanie. Holding a coffee cup, she completed the cosy ensemble with a relaxed, off-duty approach to styling. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sara Ali Khan (@saraalikhan95) Vibrant shoreline style For a beach day, Sara embraced colour in a neon lime co-ordinated set. A graphic trucker hat and dark sunglasses added a playful element to the look, while the bright palette suited the relaxed setting. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sara Ali Khan (@saraalikhan95) Florence and contemporary colour-blocking Against Florences historic architecture and the Arno River, Sara experimented with bold colour-blocking. She paired a bright green top with hot-pink denim shorts, sneakers, a cap and a crossbody bag. The combination brought a distinctly casual, contemporary edge to the European city setting. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sara Ali Khan (@saraalikhan95) Across these seven travel looks, Sara Ali Khans holiday wardrobe moves between practical layers, resort dressing and bold colour combinations. Rather than sticking to one defined aesthetic, her travel style changes with the destination, incorporating comfortable silhouettes, statement hues and casual accessories along the way. From snowy mountain terrain to desert canyons and sunny coastlines, these looks offer plenty of inspiration for travellers looking to add a fashionable touch to their next getaway.

Kubbra Sait begins shooting for Farzi Season 2, returns as Saira

Kubbra Sait is officially back on the sets of Farzi for its highly anticipated second season, and this time, she arrives with even more joy, mischief and a little stand-up-comic energy. Sharing cheerful pictures from outside her vanity van on social media, marked Saira and FZ2, Kubbra playfully teased, Is this FAKE news? before confirming, Haan yaaar! Finally mad excited lets begin season #FARZI. She captioned the post, Come off, lets begin the JOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY, because apparently regular-sized joy was not enough for her return to Sairas world. Kubbra had previously revealed that when Farzi first came her way, she committed to both seasons. Her latest post marks the beginning of that long-awaited second chapter and proves that some commitments do, in fact, survive longer than most modern relationships. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kubbra Sait (@kubbrasait) Created by Raj & DK, Farzi stars Shahid Kapoor and Vijay Sethupathi in pivotal roles. The first season introduced Kubbra as Saira, a woman closely connected to Kay Kay Menons Mansoor Dalal. What lies ahead for her remains firmly under wraps because, unlike Kubbras stand-up material, this is one story she genuinely cannot reveal yet. Off-screen, Kubbra has been expanding her creative universe. Alongside acting, writing and hosting, she recently stepped into stand-up comedy, turning her life, her observations and occasionally her questionable decisions into material. Now, as she returns to Farzi Season 2, Kubbra brings with her everything she has gathered between seasons: more experience, sharper instincts and considerably better punchlines.

Avika Gor shares glimpse of Phuket vacation: A little time away was exactly what I needed

Avika Gor recently gave fans a glimpse into her Phuket getaway, sharing moments from her vacation on social media. The actor posted a video featuring her time by the beach, food experiences and the hospitality she enjoyed during the trip. Reflecting on the break, Avika said that the short getaway was exactly what she needed. Sharing the video, she wrote, A little time away was exactly what I needed. Slow mornings, great food and the warmest hospitality; the kind of days where you forget to check the time and dont want them to end. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Avika Gor (@avikagor) Avika, who rose to fame with her role as Anandi in Balika Vadhu, has been balancing her professional commitments with her personal life. She made her television comeback with Pati Patni Aur Panga, where she appeared alongside her husband, Milind Chandwani. The couple tied the knot on September 30, 2025, at the filming location of the reality show. Avika and Milind began dating in 2020 after meeting in Hyderabad and got engaged in early 2025. The couple has also been seen travelling together, including trips to destinations such as Thailand and the Maldives. After moving to Bangkok to support Milinds career, Avika has continued to pursue her acting commitments in India. The actor is currently participating in Khatron Ke Khiladi 15. Her stint on the reality show has also made headlines following a confrontation with fellow contestant Farrhana Bhatt. When Farrhana wished her luck, Avika responded, Aap toh chahti nahi thi main aaoon. After returning to India, Avika addressed the incident on Instagram and apologised to Farrhana. She admitted that directing her frustration with the team towards Farrhana was unfair and acknowledged, Reaction nikalna galat tha. The Phuket vacation comes after a challenging period for Avika, who was recently hospitalised after being diagnosed with dengue. Milind had revealed that she battled a severe fever of 103104F for five days before eventually receiving medical care.

Gunmaaster G9 director Aditya Datt reveals Aparshakti Khurana was his first choice to play the villain; says, He has never played an out-and-out commercial and crazy-ass villain

Aparshakti Khurana is set to explore a darker side of his acting repertoire with Gunmaaster G9, an upcoming action drama directed by Aditya Datt. As the film continues production, Datt has revealed that Khurana was his first choice to play the antagonist in the film, which also stars Emraan Hashmi and Genelia DSouza. Speaking about the casting decision, Datt explained that the team wanted to approach the villains character differently instead of relying entirely on familiar tropes associated with commercial action films. We were looking out for a villain. We thought to ourselves, How do we break out? When you're doing these commercial action films, the villain is usually there with certain cliches that you want to break away from, on screen. You can't go away from the cliches, but you try to. Thats where we wanted to put effort, reveals the director, explaining why he picked Khurana. According to Datt, Khurana immediately stood out as the right actor for the role. The director pointed to the actors previous performances, including his work in Jubilee, as one of the reasons he felt confident about the casting. He went on to share, Aparshakti has never played an out-and-out commercial and crazy-ass villain. This was the thought behind going for him. I have seen many of his projects. I thought he was amazing in Jubilee. He nailed his role in the series. Many of his performances are stuck in my head. So, when I wanted to pick the villain, he was the man for me. He was on top of my list. I gave him a call. I knew hed do justice to the role. While Gunmaaster G9 is being positioned as a mass-oriented action film, Datt says the story will not rely solely on action set pieces. The director emphasised the importance of emotional stakes behind the films action sequences. I was very clear about not making a mindless action movie, given I also have such a brilliant cast with Emraan, Aparshakti and Genelia. I believe action makes sense when the emotions behind it are strong. I wanted the audience to understand and realize why the hero is going and beating up 10 people. It has to have a strong emotional intent. Otherwise, it's another gimmicky piece. I would call Gunmaaster G9 a musical drama action film, he added. Datt also shared that he personally designed the action sequences while developing the screenplay, with an emphasis on creating a polished visual style. It is going to be a very sleek and massy kind of action. I designed the sequences myself while writing. I designed the action to look good, he concluded. Gunmaaster G9 also brings Emraan Hashmi and music composer Himesh Reshammiya together again, adding another element of familiarity to the upcoming project. With Aparshakti Khurana taking on an antagonist role, the film marks a departure from the kind of characters audiences have predominantly seen him portray. The film is currently in production. While the makers have not officially locked a release date, Gunmaaster G9 is reportedly eyeing a Dussehra 2026 theatrical release.

When I was approached about my songs for the sequel, I never had an issue with making space for new voices. Ive always believed in giving back and making way for what comes next. All I ever asked for was dignity and due credit for what I had contributed to this legacy. The singer further spoke about what the songs and his contribution to the franchise meant to him. According to Mustafa, receiving dignity and recognition for his work was what mattered most. Tonight, the film began with my voice, followed by the loud cheers from the crowd and in that particular moment, I think I received what I always wanted: Dignity & Insane amount of love from all of you. Mustafa congratulated the cast and makers of Awarapan 2 and hinted that the franchise could potentially reunite again in the future. Maybe years from now, well meet again for 3.0. He ended his emotional note on a playful note for his fans, writing, Youre crying, Im not. Awarapan 2 released in theatres on August 14, 2026.
