[soniya]

She may have been out of the show for some time, but Kamya Punjabi who plays vamp Sindoora in Dulhann enjoyed her two month break to the fullest.

"It has been a wonderful trip for me. Altogether, it was a combination of religion, fun, family… everything has been covered," exclaims the on screen vamp, adding, "This was the first and also the last time I will go to the US, thanks to my husband."

"We went to the casinos in Las Vegas and Disney World in Florida. From there we came back to India and visited Shimla and Bhubaneshwar and Jaggannath Puri in Orissa back home," informs Punjabi.

An excited Kamya tells us about her US trip. "I know this was my first and last trip to the US because it takes 18 hours from India to US so I don't think I'll get the opportunity to go there again. I don't like travelling as I am a very stay at home, family person. I love to stay at home and take care of my family. But once I have a kid, I would love to take him or her to Disney world in Florida."

The actress says she is a complete shopping freak, so she shopped till she dropped. "I am too obsessed with clothes and shoes, so that is something I pick up from everywhere. I am too ashamed to admit it but I shopped Rs. 20 lakhs!!!" exclaims Kamya. But did that include anything for her hubby? "Yes, we bought a laptop, shoes, boots and some clothes too, but I have mainly shopped for myself," she laughs.

After her US trip, she headed to her in laws' place in Shimla for four-five days. "It has been a long time since I met them but I couldn't stay there for long because it was too cold there and I fell sick even after wearing enough warm clothes," she says.

After the cold climes of Shimla, she moved to humid and religious Orissa. Being a religious person, Kamya visited the Bhubaneshwar and Jaggannath Puri temples. She says, "I am very religious, Ganpati is a big festival at my place and I do pooja every morning. The temples I visited were great."

After she returned from her mind blowing trip, she celebrated Diwali in a very special way this year. "During Diwali this year, I painted my house myself and I even decorated it with candles…it was simply beautiful!!!" she exclaims, her eyes lighting up.

So, Kamya has thoroughly enjoyed her break which began in mid-October but she has already started shooting for Dulhaan and her character will make a comeback on the show in January 2009.
