Going, Going, Goa

Esha Deol:
Since I’m a total beach bum, Goa is one of the best spots India has to offer me. Lately, however, it’s become too commercialized and not so safe. But I’ll always have fond memories of my Goan holidays.
Chitrangda Singh:
Goa is the Indian Europe. It has great energy.
I go at least four times a year. I love the seafood, beaches and shacks.
Minissha Lamba:
Goa is among the most easily accessible holiday spots, with swimmable beaches.
Goa is definitely my favourite holiday spot. It’s chilled out, not much hustle bustle. I love the place, people and food. Being close to Mumbai, it is an ideal vacation spot.
Tusshar Kapoor:
I’ve only been to Goa for shootings. I love the place. The ambience is excellent. I love the water and the warmth of the people. It’s the ultimate place to get out of the rat race.
Arshad Warsi:
I love Goa. The place slows me down. I go there as often as I can.
I don’t think there’s any better place to holiday than Goa. My husband Arbaaz and I always dreamed of owning a home there... it is coming true.
Since I am total water person, Goa is the place for me. At least twice a year I take off with a bunch of friends and we never get out of the water
Goa is a favourite holiday spot. I manage to go twice a year. What I like best are the little shacks by the beaches and its old-world charm.
Koena Mitra:
Goa is one of my favourite holiday spots. You just can’t get bored of Goa. I’m a beach girl and I love Goan seafood. I also love their music and their parties are high-energy. Winter is the right time to go to Goa."
Imtiaz Ali:
Goa is big in my life. I go there very often, but still not as often as I’d like. I’d like to live the life of a hippy or a nomad on one of the beaches there. I’d like to just travel around the beaches and villages. Life is not possible for me without Goa. It takes the traffic and the noise out of my blood system.
Goa has been my favourite Indian holiday destination from the time I was in college. Earlier I’d go with a bunch of friends. But now it’s become a hotspot for family holidays. My wife Manasi and daughter Kiara are as much beach persons as I am! I love Goan food, prawn curry and rice being my favourites.
