After being together for almost a decade, Mirzapur star Shweta Tripathi and her husband Chaitnya Sharma a.k.a. SlowCheeta set some serious couple goals on their recent vacation. The two had quite an adrenaline-filled trip as they explored Australia. In an exclusive chat with NDTV Swirlster, Shweta gave me the inside scoop on her favourite moments with SlowCheeta on their recent holiday Down Under. Shweta and Cheeta's 10 day trip exploring the states of Victoria and Queensland allowed them to experience the spectrum of diverse lifestyles and landscapes; from city life to world class coastlines and scenic beaches.

On Her Memories Of Queensland and Melbourne
On her trip across Queensland and Melbourne, Shweta says, "To me, Australia is such an incredible place with so much to offer. Our trip started with a tour of the amazing street art that Melbourne is known for. We then went to Princess Theatre to watch one of our favorite sagas, Harry Potter and The Cursed Child."
The next day, the couple partook in wine tasting at Yarra Valley before hopping on to the Puffing Billy Steam Railway, which is Australia's oldest steam railway station. "We had an amazing time taking in the sights as we sat with our legs dangling out of the windows," she beamed.
The couple's greatest highlight from Melbourne was witnessing the Ind vs Pak match at MCG. "To be one of the 90K+ people who had the chance to witness India win at MCG in the way they did, was indescribable!" Shweta exclaims.
"We also had an amazing time in Queensland, where both Chaitanya and I thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality and were spoilt with good food, amazing drinks and the best views," Shweta concluded.
On Her Top Adventure Highlights In Australia
"We had the chance to use four different types of transport in one day," Shweta shares excitedly, while recounting some of her top adventurous experiences in Australia.
Riding The Jet Ski
"The jet ski rides were one of my best experiences. I drove 20kms across the beautiful channel and witnessed nothing but islands, beaches, sandbars, mangroves and the open sea along the beautiful sub-tropical shores of South Stradbroke Island. We stopped at a bar nearby and got a beer too."
Cruising On A Sailboat
"We went on a sailboat, where we had a lovely meal, accompanied by champagne. Enjoying the sights of the city, we got to see a very different side of Gold Coast".
Taking A Helicopter Ride Over The Gold Coast
"We also went on a helicopter ride that gave us a bird's eye view of an incredibly scenic coastal city. The entire ride was thrilling, to say the least. We then used our favorite vehicle i.e. our legs, to climb the tallest tower in the Southern Hemisphere. It was, quite literally, a breathtaking experience."
Hot Air Ballooning
"It was so fun and surreal; we loved the view and whole experience altogether."
