She went on to star in many TV series, movies and won many awards. In an interview, Sheh says that she loves traveling.

Describe Your Best Holiday

That would be in Europe. I was enthralled by its history and building architecture, especially the churches. I had a special feeling when I visited Europe. I loved Rome and visited the bull fighting arenas. My imagination went wild when I entered the arena — I could hear the roar of the crowd, feel the intensity of a bull fight and imagine what had happened there before.

Tops On Must-see List

Greece. I have heard so much about it and will definitely visit it

Your Worst Holiday

I don’t have any bad holiday memory but I dislike doing travel programmes where one goes on a tour to introduce the places of interest. I find it too hectic.

Once, I did a travel programme on Korea. I stayed for six days and had to stay in five different hotels!

Initially, I thought it would be fun but it ended up being too hectic as I had to pack up and be on the move every now and then and the schedule involved a whole day. After that, I don’t host travel programmes anymore.

Must-bring Stuff On Holidays

Hydrating mask and everything else for my daily facial regime.

What You Avoid On A Holiday

A hectic programme because when I am on holiday, it must be relaxing.

Pet Hates On Holidays

Nothing! It means that I have free time for myself and my loved ones.

Who You Would Love To Sit Next To In A Plane

Brad Pitt.

I will be on hiatus starting tomorrow till Sunday, as I'm heading off somewhere and would not have much time to access internet. Be good while I'm gone, ok?
