Kriti Kharbanda is a travel enthusiast and loves spending time in nature. On her 34th birthday on October 29, the actress embarked on a thrilling jungle safari with her husband, actor Pulkit Samrat. She dropped a carousel of pictures and videos from the destination on Instagram, highlighting her wild adventures at a tiger reserve. The first clip captured Kriti and Pulkit posing for the lens as they rode a vehicle. It was followed by a wonderful glimpse of two tigers playfully chasing each other inside the dense forest. The next few slides we spotted a herd of deer, a tortoise beside a waterbody, peacocks, a crocodile basking under the sun and cranes roaming in the jungle.
Kriti Kharbanda captioned the post, “I had the best day yesterday. Filled with adventure and love! A wild birthday in the wild! The 2nd to last slide is my favourite. As you can tell, my hands were shaking. I've never been more fascinated with the wild! Can't wait to experience this again!”
