Like most mothers, mine, too, would nag me about the kind of company I’d keep. She’d harp on that meme-quote, now often posted alongside a picture of Elon Musk : “You’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” More recently, I have found myself doing a mental check-in after spending time with a friend, making note of whether or not I like the version of myself they draw out.

I ask: Am I calmer? Am I discontent? Am I more easygoing? Am I more strung out? Sara Ali Khan seems like the kind of friend my mother would approve of. She’s grounded, funny, relatable, hardworking, passionate and fitness-oriented—all qualities my mum wishes I’d have more of. If spending time with the actor, listening to her famous shayaris, gorging on tasty dishes and burning them off right after sounds appealing to you, you may just get to befriend her for three days through an exclusive wellness and yoga retreat she’s hosting in Goa for Airbnb.

Set in a tranquil home nestled amidst Goa ’s lush greenery, the Airbnb retreat offers more than just a vacation—it is an invitation to immerse yourself, alongside Khan, in nature, yoga and wellness practices that promote inner peace. This serene environment provides the perfect backdrop for the actor to share her own philosophy of wellness. In a world that often prioritises hustle over balance, especially in bustling cities like Mumbai, where the 29-year-old lives, the Goan retreat is a chance to reset.

Khan is a fitti.
