A bucket full of wishes

Gurnaaz Kaur

Let’s walk into 2020 knowing there are 12 new chapters and 365 new chances coming our way to add meaning to our lives. The focus should be—dream, believe, achieve! But have you made your bucket list? These celebs have… and this is what it looks like.

Diving force

Samira Reddy, actress

I was a very active scuba diver but after giving birth to Hans, I took a break. On top of my bucket list for the 2020 is to renew my scuba diving license and start diving again. At least three travel destinations with kids. Third would be learning Spanish. Post losing pregnancy weight, I want to master handstand. The last thing on my bucket list is to run a marathon.

Read & bake

Aparshakti Khurana, actor

There are many things in my bucket list for the year 2020, and I wish I manage to tick off all of them. Firstly, I have planned to at least read 12 books this year; one each month. This year, not just travelling but the idea is to get to know the culture of places I go to. I miss spending enough time with my family, so that’s also the focus for 2020. The last one is that the foodie inside me has decided to turn tables this year and learn cooking, especially the art of baking as I can cook a little already.

Forest glam

Evelyn Sharma, actress

My bucket list is quite sorted. I want to go surfing in Fiji, cuddle a Koala bear and plant a forest.

Aiming at the sky

Mustafa Abbas, actor

Travel, travel and travel more…Whatever I earn, I spend it on travelling. Sadly, in 2019 I couldn’t backpack much but this year I want to cover most of Africa, Egypt and Greece. Skydiving is on my list too.

Learning the flute

Vatsal Seth, actor

I want to learn to play the Native American flute, for which I’ve already enrolled. Then I want to read at least six new books, travel to two new destinations and contribute to the cause of education and fight global warming.

Norway calling

Alankrita Sahai, model-actress

First on my list is travel to Norway and watch the Aurora Borealis light up the sky. I want to try the shark cage diving in South Africa. I will work towards building my own house in Mumbai. And away from the worldly pleasure, my focus this year will be to be kind to self.

Crusade environment

Dia Mirza, actress

My bucket list begins with doing more of what I care deeply about. Collaborate with good people and tell more stories, experience three new forests of India/world, beat air and plastic pollution.

Study period

Aditi Govitrikar, actress

This year I want to travel to a new country, read at least one book a week, establish my corporate wellness programme, act in at least two web series and lastly finish my Harvard masters by 2021 – so major part of it will have to get over in 2020.

Write way

Gurmeet Choudhary, actor

My bucket list includes getting better at my style, becoming fitter (emotionally and mentally), be there for others so they don’t feel lonely or depressed, travel to new places with wifey darling and start writing short stories.

Finding a boyfriend

Divya Dutta, actress

In 2020, I will write my next book; make best friends with myself; work with my wish list directors… I think I am already doing that in 2020. I want to do a fun road trip to Europe and yes, find myself a boyfriend.

Going solo

Pooja Verma, actress

My list includes learning a new dance form, may be salsa. I have learnt swimming too. Then, I would like to try a new look, go on a road trip solo and read regularly.

Five-point agenda

Varun Sharma, actor

The five things I’ve decided to achieve in 2020 are—skydiving, see the Northern lights, be without my phone at least once a week, learn a new language and do scuba diving.

High on adventure

Abhinav Shukla, actor

My bucket list generally remains a secret. But here are few things I can share. First is scaling a 7,000m peak. Second is giving a winning performance in a film or series. Getting fitter, better and stronger. Doing a biking trip on one of the most dangerous roads in the world. And, of course, writing some exceptional screenplays!

Solitary confinement

Jobanpreet Singh, actor

First things first, I want to work in web series. I want to write a book, plant at least 1,000 trees, spend a month in the mountains without any phone or contact with anyone, travel at least to five new countries and last but not the least win the best actor award.

An evening in Paris

Tania, actress

I want to visit Paris, involve myself in community work, read books, have a healthy lifestyle and start my dance practice for sure.

Diving deep

Sonu Sood, actor

There are a couple of things I have always wanted to do. Sky diving is something that I’ve already done but deep sea diving tops the list. I already did some snorkelling lessons in the Maldives. I want to go back to my guitar. It gives me a high and a lot of peace. Spend time with my family, go on at least three holidays with them. I want to

do things for people in Punjab, who have survived drug abuse.

Let’s hope we all empty our bucket lists! Here’s wishing 2020 be a fulfilling year for all!
