Mumbai, June 25 : Television actor Gurmeet Choudhary hit the pause button on his busy work life to immerse himself in the simple rural life during his getaway in Manali.

Gurmeet posted glimpses of spending a day in a picturesque village. He shared a reel video, where he was seen petting cows, meeting elders of a village, posing for pictures, and chatting about the home in Manali.

The actor shared a profound caption for the clip as he wrote: â??Sometimes the most unforgettable part of a journey isnâ??t the destinationâ??itâ??s the people you meet along the way. Manali, thank you for your love.â??

Talking about Gurmeet, he rose to prominence after portraying Lord Rama in the 2009 television epic 'Ramayana'. He is married to actress Debinna Bonnerjee, with whom he has two daughters.

The couple had their first child, a daughter, in April 2022 and their second daughter in November 2022.

After shooting to fame by playing Lord Rama in Ramayan in 2009, Gurmeet was seen in the reality show Pati Patni Aur Woh with Debinna. However, it was his show â??Geet-Hui Sabse Parayiâ?? alongside Drashti Dhami that got him instant fame through his portrayal of Maan Singh Khurana, in the small screen.

Right after â??Geet-Hui Sabse Parayiâ??, Gurmeet essayed a pivotal role in the show Punar Vivah.

He took home the trophy for the fifth season of the popular dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa with choreographer Shampa Sonthalia.
