Parineeta Borthakur: A short break in between work really rejuvenates me
Parineeta Borthakur enjoyed a much-needed vacation in Kuwait, her third visit to the evolving country. She's now eager to return to television with a dynamic role that allows her to showcase her acting skills and avoid typecasting. Now that the show Durga has wrapped up, actress Parineeta Borthakur is finally getting some downtime. 'I took a proper vacation after almost two years,' she shares. 'Though I did manage a short break to Dubai during Shiv Shakti , this Kuwait trip was long overdue.' TV is known for back-to-back shoots, and Parineeta doesn't complain about the pace of work. 'I don't really feel burnt out. I love working, but I do need short breaks in between,' she explains. 'Our schedules are hectic, with long hours and heavy dialogues. A short break in between work really rejuvenates and makes you love your work even more. A vacation in between work is the best vacation.' The actress recently visited Kuwait for the third time. She says, 'Each time I visit, Kuwait surprises me. It keeps evolving. The wealth, the lifestyle—it's very different from what we see back home. Despite being a desert with no rivers, they've tackled water scarcity by using desalinated seawater. It's inspiring. I wish we could adopt something similar in India.' Back from the vacation, she's eager to return to the screen. 'I'm looking for a new daily show with an intriguing role. I enjoy playing dynamic characters. Being typecast or treated like a prop is frustrating. I want something that lets me tap into my craft.'

International Tea Day! Parineeta Borthakur says, 'Being from Assam, tea is in my blood'
Parineeta Borthakur, an actress, commemorates International Tea Day by reflecting on tea's significant role in her life. Growing up in Assam, surrounded by tea gardens, she developed a deep connection to the beverage. On International Tea Day , actress Parineeta Borthakur shares how tea has been more than a beverage—it's been a companion through different stages of her life. She shares, 'Tea is an integral part of my daily routine. My love for tea began during my 10th-grade exam preparation days. I'd savour a cup with my mom in the afternoon, amidst the serene surroundings of our garden in Duliajan, Assam.' Growing up in Assam—India's tea heartland—Parineeta's connection to tea was both emotional and environmental. The actress says, 'I come from an oil industry family, and Duliajan was home. But my love for tea deepened thanks to my uncle, who was a tea garden manager. Visiting him was always special. We'd indulge in luxurious moments amidst the lush greenery, sipping on tea in the evenings.' She further adds, 'After moving to Mumbai, my affection for tea only intensified. I enjoy tea at any time of day. My daily routine includes two cups of milk tea, and I always keep an assortment of green teas from Assam in my kitchen. I think being from Assam, tea is in my blood. It connects me to my roots, my childhood, and my family. Every cup brings a sense of peace.'
