Actress Tisca Chopra is currently unwinding in the serene hills of Ooty, and her latest social media update gives fans a glimpse into her peaceful retreat in the Nilgiris.
The “Taare Zameen Par” actress shared images of her delightful day spent at a charming restaurant called Celeste, accompanied by her friend Meera Singh.
In her Instagram post, Tisca expressed her joy with the phrase “Poorna santosham,” a local expression meaning complete happiness or satisfaction. The post shows Tisca enjoying what appears to be a gourmet experience at an unexpected location.
Hidden Culinary Gems In The Hills
What caught Tisca’s attention was the surprisingly sophisticated cuisine at this small establishment. “Who would have thunk this tiny place tucked away in the hills, miles from anywhere would have such nuanced, delicate food,” she wrote, sharing images of mushroom soup and feta cheese and watermelon salad.
The actress also mentioned a playful encounter with a pet she referred to as that little devil monkey/doggy girl. The caption read, “#BhagyaLaxmi giving our ovaries a squeeze,” suggesting the adorable animal ignited some maternal instincts.
The images show Tisca and her friend Meera enjoying their meal together in what appears to be a cozy, rustic setting surrounded by the natural beauty of the Nilgiris hills.
Mountain Retreat Continues
This isn’t the first time Tisca has shared moments from her current mountain getaway. Just a day before, she posted images with Meera from their mountain adventure, quoting mountaineer Anatoli Boukreev: “Mountains are not stadiums where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, they are the cathedrals where I practice my religion.”
Interestingly, Tisca recently celebrated Meera’s birthday as well, sharing a heartfelt tribute: “Filling many roles in my life and heart since I was a kid… Every year seems to add another layer of beauty to you. You know how much I love you.” This suggests the two share a deep, long-standing friendship, making this Ooty retreat all the more special.
A Versatile Career
According to her Wikipedia profile, Tisca Chopra is known for her versatile work across film, television, and theater. After making her debut in the film “Platform,” she gained significant recognition for her role in the critically acclaimed film “Taare Zameen Par,” where she played the mother of a dyslexic child.
Chopra has appeared in numerous Bollywood films, including “Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji,” “Ankur Arora Murder Case,” and “Qissa.” She has also worked in web series such as “Hostages” and “Tanaav” across platforms like Disney+ Hotstar and SonyLIV.
Beyond acting, Tisca has ventured into production and writing. She produced the short film “Chutney,” which won several awards, and has authored a book, “Acting Smart: Your Ticket to the Silver Screen.”
When not immersed in her professional commitments, Tisca appears to value travel and moments of tranquility. Her recent social media activity shows a balance between her work in entertainment and personal time spent appreciating nature. Just a week prior to her Ooty retreat, Tisca shared glimpses from what seemed to be a busy professional schedule, including promotional events.
Her trip to Ooty appears to be providing a welcome respite from her typically busy schedule, allowing her to reconnect with nature and close friends in a peaceful setting. As Tisca continues her stay in what she hashtags as her “#homeinthehills,” fans are getting a rare glimpse into the personal side of the versatile actress, away from the glamour of films and television. For now, it seems the mountains of Nilgiris are providing Tisca with the perfect balance of good food, great company, and the tranquility that only nature can provide—truly a case of “poorna santosham” as they say in that part of the world.
