While Banana Bread became our favorite lockdown recipe, Maldives became the favorite holiday destination for several Bollywood celebrities. We might now wonder why they planned their trip during the pandemic months.
As the restrictions on travel were lifted, an air bubble arrangement was made between India and Maldives. Passengers who travel between these countries have to compulsorily follow the government guidelines. Moreover, it is mandatory to have a COVID-19 test done from a laboratory under ICMR before one enters Maldives. Since the holiday destination follows the system of "one-island-one-resort", travellers don't run the risk of being affected by the novel coronavirus.
Here's the list of 10 Bollywood celebrities who visited the place recently.
1. Katrina Kaif
Katrina Kaif visited Maldives for a shoot in November and shared that she was excited to be there. "So amzinggg to be in Maldives 🇲🇻 for shoot 💙💛🤍", she captioned her picture on Instagram.
