Exclusive - Dipshikkha Nagppal: My Trip to the U.S. Was Impromptu and Unforgettable
'When you're doing a daily soap, you hardly get any time to travel,' she said. 'If you're planning a trip to the USA, you need at least 25–30 days because one week just goes into recovering from jet lag!'
Dipshikkha revealed that her close friend and actress Kashmera Shah had been inviting her to visit Los Angeles for a long time. 'She has a beautiful house in LA and always insisted we come stay there. But with work, no one really gets 30 days off in one stretch.
So the moment I found out I had a month's leave, I booked my ticket on impulse and joined her in LA.'
But her trip didn't end there. As soon as people in New York learned she was in the country, she was invited to attend the curtain raiser event for the 5th India Day Parade. 'It was such an honour,' Dipshikkha said, glowing with pride. 'The Indian community in Long Island is so beautiful. There's so much love and support amongst them, and they gave me so much of it too.
They even honoured me with a certificate—it felt truly special.
To receive such love for your work from people outside your country is heartwarming.'
She received an Executive Citation certificate at the IDP USA Curtain Raiser for her dedicated service to Nassau County residents, a moment she describes as both humbling and memorable.
She also made sure to spend a little time soaking in the energy of Times Square. 'I was there for just a day or two, but I made the most of it. The vibe is unmatched!'
Dipshikkha, who has always enjoyed travelling, mentioned that she continues to travel for work too and doesn't plan to stop anytime soon. 'I absolutely love it. Travel recharges me.'
From spontaneous flights to heartfelt honours, Dipshikkha's U.S. trip was not just about sightseeing—it was about connection, celebration, and embracing life beyond the sets.

RJ Mahvash Buys Cricket Team In This League, Captain Is Ex-IPL Star
The auction for the inaugural CLT10 (Cricket League T10), a three-day tennis ball cricket tournament, took place in Delhi recently. Notable TV personalities like Sunny Leone and Prince Narula were present at the auction, having invested in teams. Influencer RJ Mahvash, who has been linked with Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, also acquired a team at the auction. Mahvash entered the cricket ownership business as she bought the Supreme Strikers team, which will be led by former Australia opener Shaun Marsh. Mahvash was seen sporting a cream-coloured matching top and skirt set at the event. She also took to Instagram to share some sneak peeks from the auction, highlighting her commitment to her new role as a team owner. "Team RJ Mahvash locked with Captain Shaun Marsh," Mahvash captioned a post on Instagram. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mahvash (@ Recently, Chahal, during a chat on Raj Shamani's podcast, was asked if anything is going on with Mahvash or anyone else. To which, the cricketer replied, "No, there's nothing. People can think whatever they want to think." "For the first time, when I was seen with someone, people started linking us right away. Even though she clarified it, it was very hard for her. She was called a homewrecker... people said really nasty things. I felt terrible... We could not step out together," he added Talking about their pictures from a Christmas dinner, Yuzvendra stated that it was blown out of proportion. "We had a Christmas dinner with five people, but the photo was cropped to make it look like just the two of us were on a dinner date. It got to a point where we couldn't even go out with friends without worrying about what people would say," he said. Though Chahal hasn't represented India since August 2023, he continues to be active in domestic cricket and the IPL. Chahal's latest competitive matches were for Northamptonshire in the County Championship, where he picked up four wickets against Kent in the first innings but went wicketless in the second. He had a similar outcome against Middlesex. In IPL 2025, Chahal played an important role for the Punjab Kings, claiming 16 wickets in 14 matches at an average of 26.87.
