nMy longest drive was a three-and-a-half month one around the country where I covered almost 26,000 km, driving a Maruti Versa. It was basically for a TV show, so I was travelling with other people as well and we enjoyed every minute. We covered every place in the country right from the South, to the North-East and the Himalayas.

If you enjoy driving, as I do, the entire experience couldn’t have been better. The open roads beckon you. We stopped only where we felt it was very necessary, and then at times we spent nights in hotels on the road. Once we even slept in our car. You’ve got to be able to do that when you are on the roads without any agenda. This happened at the Indira Gandhi National Park in Tamil Nadu where we were initially supposed to sleep in a treehouse. But it was so noisy that we decided to spend the night in our car. It felt more safe.
