An Avid Traveller, He Could Never Get Bored Of This Hotel In Switzerland
The famous Indian director, producer and comic actor once talked to Outlook Traveller about a hotel in Switzerland that he could visit all the time without getting bored. It was a Hotel de Rougemont that he was really fond of. While he travelled the world and stayed at many hotels over the years Hotel de Rougemont became one of those places that made a place in his heart. He shared about feeling at home at that hotel, owing to the unparalleled hospitality of the staff there.
Elaborating on his trip there, he shared that he visited the hotel for the first time in 1998 to shoot the songs for Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain. He also shared how much the quality of stay affects the work while shooting in a foreign country. Surely, this Swiss hotel checked all his boxes!
As per his interview with the magazine, it was quite a small hotel with a homey vibe, run by a man who did everything on his own. The atmosphere outside of the hotel was also something that kept him hooked. The green terrains with trains passing through them become one of his favourite memories. Of course, the food at this hotel was amazing too. Late Satish Kaushik Ji also shared that the same man would prepare all the meals himself and lay them really nicely. He remembered having amazing chicken and salads there.
His demise is surely a great loss to the country. Our condolences to his family and may his soul rest in peace.
