Bigg Boss Star Khanzaadi Visits Jaipur For The First Time: ‘It Is Such A Beautiful Place'
Since it was a work-related trip and Khanzaadi could not explore as much as she wanted to, she wants to return to Jaipur soon.
Firoza Khan, aka Khanzaadi, recently checked something off her bucket list—her very first trip to Jaipur! The rapper-singer, absolutely smitten by the Pink City, explored the majestic beauty of Amber Fort and also fed fish in the Maota Lake. Besides, she made sure to savour the Rajasthani cuisine and even slipped into a traditional Rajputi poshak. Talking about her recent visit to Jaipur, Khanzaadi also revealed that she indulged in local delicacies like gatte ki sabzi and laal maas.
The former Bigg Boss contestant told Times Of India, 'I tried living the life of a Rajasthani for a day, and it was quite fun. It was my first trip to Jaipur, and I've been wondering why I never came here before. This is such a beautiful city to explore."
Before visiting the city, Khanzaadi had a completely different image of the city in her mind. She said, 'Socha tha, yahan registaan hoga, banjaare honge aur dekhne ko kuch khaas nahi hoga, but it's such a beautiful place. It truly represents India, with so much history and culture to offer."
Since it was a work-related trip and the rapper could not explore as much as she wanted to, she wants to return to the city soon. Her wishlist? A camel ride and much-hyped dal-baati churma.
Khanzaadi started making waves with MTV Hustle and later shot to fame with her appearance in Bigg Boss Season 17. Reflecting on her journey, she said, 'When I entered MTV Hustle, I was a rapper but had no idea about my potential as a singer and performer. Thanks to judges like Badshah and King Rocco, who motivated me to hone my skills."
As for Bigg Boss, she added that the reality show gave her exposure like never before. 'I entered with just 2,000 followers and came out with over a million. I didn't realise how big my fan base had become until after the show." Khanzaadi added.
Although the show has ended, the strong bonds she formed in the Bigg Boss house are still intact. Her friendship with Ankita Lokhande and Abhishek has lasted beyond the show and they are often seen celebrating birthdays and special occasions together. Talking about her bond with them, the rapper noted that she shares a warm bond with Karan Veer Mehra, Ankita and Abhishek and they even celebrated her birthday together recently.

5 best camping destinations in India and when to visit them
If you are someone who loves adventure and a good challenge, you must go on a camping trip at least once in your life. Here are some of the best camping destinations in India with the best time to visit them, what budget to keep and what you can do at these places: Rishikesh, Uttarakhand Rishikesh has earned a reputation as a camper's haven in both India and across the world. Here, you can wake up with a view of the Ganga, practice sunrise yoga, and try out adventure sports like white-water rafting and zip-lining. At night, you can witness aarti and bonfires on the banks of Ganga. The best time to visit Rishikesh for a camping trip is between March to November when the weather is pleasant and river sports are in full swing. For individuals and groups, budget camps with dormitory tents with basic amenities begin at a very affordable INR 1000 per person, while "glamping" alternatives with air beds, barbecue suppers and private decks can go up to INR 5000 or more. Meals and some adventure activities are usually included in the price by most camps. If you want to go trekking while you are here, it is best to carry some light woollens, quick-dry clothing, comfortable walking shoes, and insect spray. Remember that Rishikesh is a plastic-free city, so carry reusable bottles and bags with you. Jaisalmer, Rajasthan The best time to visit Jaisalmer for a camping adventure is from November to March when the day sun is warm and evenings are clear and starry. Camping options range from simple Swiss tents at INR 2000 a night to luxury camps with bathrooms, local cuisine, and even private cultural shows that cost as much as INR 8000. Here, you can experience sunset camel safaris, folk dances, and Rajasthani thalis. But when you head out for camping in Jaisalmer, pack plenty of water, sunscreen, and scarves or hats for sun protection during the day. It is also a good idea to keep gadgets well covered and protected from the sand. Spiti Valley, Himachal Pradesh Spiti Valley is one of the most popular camping destinations in India for rightful reasons. It has the most stunning virews of the Humalaya. The best time to camp here is during the months of May, July, September and October when the roads are accessible and weather conditions are secure. It is important that you acclimate to the high altitude of Spiti Valley. Most travellers plan an overnight stay in Kaza or Tabo before attempting high-altitude treks. You can camp near the famous lakes and monasteries of Spiti Valley starting at INR 2500 a night. Some camps also offer local cuisine and minimal cold-climate gear. Here, you can share butter tea with fellow campers, do temple tours of ancient Gompas, or day walks to hidden villages with locals. Make sure you pack layered camping gear, sunglasses, sunscreen, a torch, and a first aid kit. Petrol pumps, ATMs and phone networks are difficult to find here, so make sure you are properly prepared beforehand. Solang Valley and Manali, Himachal Pradesh Solang Valley and Manali in Himachal Pradesh are must-visit camping spots in India. If you are someone who loves adventure, you can try paragliding, zorbing, or guided treks here. The best time to visit this region is between October and June. You can find tents ranging from INR 1800 a night for basic setups to INR 4000 for packages that include meals and mountain guides. Family-friendly camps often have bonfires, local music nights, and nature walks. It is a good idea to inquire about activity packages and book your tickets early for the best rates outside of long weekends and holidays. Since the weather can be unpredictable, you might want to bring both sunscreen and rain gear. Coorg, Karnataka Coorg's lush green hills and coffee plantations offer a unique spot for camping. The best time to visit is from October to March, when the weather is cool but not too cold to set up camps. Campsites are usually set along the coffee plantations and provide unique experiences like guided tours of the plantations, fishing, wildlife spotting, and treks to waterfalls. Budget camps can start from INR 1200-1800 a night, while more luxurious "glamping" yurts or Swiss cottage tents might cost up to INR 5000. It is best to pack quick-drying clothes, water shoes, and a rain jacket even in the winter at Coorg. For a truly local dinner experience, don't miss trying a Pandi Curry pork meal, or enjoy fresh coffee from the estate as the sun rises. So, now that you know the best places to head to for a camping trip to India, you can have a journey full of thrill, delicious food and memories that you will never forget.
