“There are times when life feels a little too loud. When the mind is overthinking, the heart feels less than joyful, and creativity seems to have lost its usual spark. I’ve learnt not to fight those moments. I simply head for the mountains,” Tisca wrote in the caption.

“A few days of breathing pine-scented air, sitting with my feet in icy mountain streams, watching the clouds drift by… and my soul begins to settle again. This visit, however, offered something far deeper than rest,” she added.

The actress further stated: “By divine grace, I was able to spend Guru Purnima at Babaji’s ashram in Palampur, receive his blessings, and be part of a sacred havan. Some experiences don’t arrive loudly. They arrive quietly, leaving behind a little more clarity, a little more humility, and a gentle reminder that the deepest journeys are always inward.”

Tisca said she has now returned with a clear mind and a fuller heart.

“I return with a calmer mind, a fuller heart, and gratitude that will stay with me long after the mountain roads disappear in the rear-view mirror.”

Talking about the actress, Tisca is best known for her role as Maya Awasthi in the 2007 Aamir Khan-starrer Taare Zameen Par, which was India’s official entry to the Academy Awards.

She has also worked in films such as Firaaq, Qissa, Rahasya, Ghayal Once Again, Ankur Arora Murder Case, Good Newwz and Jugjugg Jeeyo. Tisca has also made a name for herself in the digital space with shows such as Hostages and Dahan, among many others.
