Actress Shriya Saran shared a personal story, recalling how she met her husband in the Maldives while on a boat safari. “I was on a boat safari at that time. Deep sea diving is something I love, so it’s a paradise on earth, seeing beautiful corals, mantas, sting rays, and whale sharks. Here I met my husband, fell in love, and got married. Now I have come to celebrate my birthday and my son’s birthday. I have very happy and lovely memories in the Maldives” she reminisced.
Other stars, like Sonakshi Sinha and Sunny Kaushal, also expressed their love for the Maldives, with Sinha calling it one of her favorite places, saying, “I visit almost every year—it’s truly paradise on earth.”
