Here's the REAL reason Shweta Bachchan doesn't want to plan a family vacation!

7 Sep, 2017
Here's the REAL reason Shweta Bachchan doesn't want to plan a family vacation!Here's the REAL reason Shweta Bachchan doesn't want to plan a family vacation!

Every mother can relate to what Shweta Bachchan Nanda went through.

Every mother knows that a vacation is more work than fun. There is a lot of planning, packing and organising involved and holidays can inevitably end up becoming a nightmare for parents.

But you wouldn't expect such things to happen to celebrities. After all, they have an entire army to organise vacations for them.

However, it looks like despite the luxury of hiring help, Amitabh Bachchan's daughter Shweta Bachchan Nanda faced something nightmarish during her family holidays and is in no mood to go to one anytime soon.

Yes, you read that right.

No cellphone rule didn't work well at all!

In her recent column for a daily, Nanda revealed that after a lot of back and forth her entire family was booked to go to Greece. But what happened there was nothing short of a nightmare for her.

"Once at our destination, we would spend our mornings on the beach, where every 30 minutes, I was required to appraise my daughter on the status of her tan, while my son skulked in the room on his laptop...By nighttime, my daughter was sunburnt and my son was pale and in hysterics at his sister’s plight," she writes.

She further explained that if that wasn't enough the family were left without any ideas or topics of discussions without their cell phones.

"For food, we would venture into the quaint towns that scattered our island and after bridging a serious language barrier, managed to order. My son had decided we must pool all our mobile phones at the centre of the table and not touch them till the meal was done. This was a very noble idea, but suddenly, we were all out of conversations and aching for our dinner to be over so we could have our devices back. Forgoing dessert every time," Nanda wrote.

Mothers have to bear everything!

As for the weather they were so looking forward to during their trip, she said it soon became unmanageable, especially with the kids.

"The pleasant breeze intensified over the next few days, to a gale force wind and my daughter and I were left most evenings yelping as we brushed knots out of our tousled hair," she wrote.

And finally when it was time to leave everybody threw their dirty laundry in her bag even though Nanda says she is pretty sure she didn't even see her daughter wear anything larger than a handkerchief.

"I hadn’t seen my daughter wear anything bigger than a handkerchief the entire trip, but she didn’t have space in her suitcase, she said to me deadpan," she wrote adding that when somebody asked her to plan another family vacation she conveniently ignored them.

Nanda's column is a reminder of how mums have it hard, irrespective of whether they are famous or not.
