<p>Since my profession is one which does not include a 9 to 5 job, my weekends are usually pretty unplanned. If I am not working, honestly everyday feels like a weekend.<br /><br />I don’t spend my off days partying as I am not a party person. However, I play a lot of cricket and other sports. So about 15 to 20 of us from the industry get together and play a game or two for long hours during weekends. I also make it a point to watch movies at night in the theatre.<br /><br />My weekends include friends coming over to my place or me going over to theirs for small get-togethers. We often go out for dinners and have meaningful conversations and catch up on each other’s lives.<br /><br />I love travelling so I make sure that I take a break and go on a trip or two every month. These trips can be to any place outside Maharashtra. <br /><br />So it can be anything from a journey abroad to a trip to Delhi, Chhattisgarh or the South for that matter. It is better to travel during the weekends as my friends or the people I am going to meet are free only at that time. I mostly love travelling to hill stations and Manali and Himachal Pradesh are some of the places I enjoy visiting. <br /><br />Also I recently shot for a film in Chandigarh and fell in love with that place and I keep going there too. Bengaluru is yet another place I visit often as I have a couple of friends here and we chill out during weekends.<br /><br />I am particular about my fitness and thus working out is something that I thoroughly enjoy. Saturday is when I usually hit the gym while Sunday is for rest. <br /><br />But along with following a fitness regime, I also love to pamper the foodie in me. I enjoy exploring new restaurants and experiment with my palate rather than going for regular stuff like butter chicken because that is safest option of all. But I avoid cooking by myself.<br /><br />For me a perfect weekend is all about relaxation; it should make up for the entire hectic week. This can include going for a massage, playing any kind of sport and visiting my parents twice a month. They stay in my hometown Pune and a trip there is always relaxing. I have a lot of college friends there and it’s always good to be around them and spend quality time with them. Although I have friends in Mumbai too, Pune is home after all.<br /> <br /><em>Though he started his career as a model, Parth Samthaan soon climbed up the ladder in the acting industry with television shows like ‘Best Friends Forever?’, ‘Gumrah: End of Innocence’, ‘MTV Webbed’ and ‘Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya’.
