Abhishek Sharrma has struck a chord with fans through his portrayal of Devansh in Vasudha. The role has allowed him to showcase a softer and relatable side as an actor. Away from the cameras, it turns out his idea of happiness is equally uncomplicated. Ask him about the monsoon and his face lights up instantly. While many Mumbaikars associate the rainy season with traffic snarls and delayed schedules, Abhishek looks at it very differently. Rain, for him, has always been something to celebrate.

"The monsoon is my favourite season, so I never get irritated by the rain. In fact, I absolutely love it. There's something incredibly calming and refreshing about watching it pour, and I look forward to this time of the year."

His rainy-day plans don't involve staying indoors for long. There is a small ritual he follows almost every time the skies open up.

"Whenever it starts raining, the first thing I'll do is make myself a cup of hot tea and prepare some pakoras. For me, that's the perfect monsoon combination. After that, I'll take my bike out for a long ride because there's nothing I enjoy more than riding in the rain."

The actor says the ride itself is what he enjoys the most. He doesn't step out with a fixed destination in mind. Instead, he lets the weather decide the pace.

"I usually ride through places like Juhu, Bandra, Bandstand, and sometimes even all the way to South Mumbai. The cool breeze, rain and beautiful roads make an unforgettable experience. Those rides help me relax and shut everything else out."

For Abhishek, those few hours are a chance to take a break and relish the rains. The constant calls, messages and notifications can wait. Once he puts on his helmet, work takes a back seat.

"When I'm out on my monsoon rides, I switch off my phone because I just want to enjoy the moment without any distractions. It's my way of unwinding, reconnecting with myself, and making the most of the beautiful weather," he concluded.
