Everyone loves weekends. You get a break from your hectic routine. It’s when we can do what we want and spend some time with ourselves or our loved ones. ApEx talked to a few known personalities to find out how they like to spend their weekend.
Reecha Sharma, Actor
I’m quite a homebody. For me, staying home with my family is the best way to spend my weekend. Weekdays are quite hectic for both me and my husband. So the weekend is when we get to have a nice and quiet time with our families. We like to stay home with our son, have lunch together, watch movies, and have some good conversations. We go out sometimes when we have time. It’s usually for hiking or to the movies. But ideally, we both prefer to stay home.
Neer Bikram Shah, Actor
With the work I do, sometimes I need to go shooting or dubbing even on weekends. I think I speak for many actors when I say that we are always hoping to have our weekends to ourselves. I’m always looking forward to having no professional engagements on Fridays and Saturdays. But, when I do have some time to myself, my priority is my family. I love spending time with them on my weekends, especially with my grandkids. They are like my friends. I like to take them out for lunch, movies, or anywhere where we can spend some quality time together. Sometimes, we even go a bit far to places like Dhulikhel and Chandragiri just to grab some lunch. I find that quite refreshing.
Amar Neupane, Writer
I don’t think of weekends as some special day to be very honest. A special day can be any day when I would like to spend some with myself, my friends, and my family. I don’t wait for weekends to give myself a break. Doing research for my next work, meeting new people, and spending time living in different parts of Nepal is what I enjoy the most. And I make time for that as much as I can. On days when I am free, I spend some time with my friends and family. We have gatherings where we share our thoughts, and we go for activities like hiking and trekking.
Nevertheless, for me, an ideal Saturday would be when I can just be by myself, read books, write something based on my months-long research, and just delve into literature. I’m someone who enjoys being on my own. That gives me time to process my thoughts, read the books that I have yet to read, and write something that I have always wanted to.
