She was crowned the first runner-up in the 1991 Miss India pageant. Today Ritu Vaidya (nee Singh) is married into one of Nepal’s foremost business families, and for her weekends mean family time

I spend my weekends with the family doing things together like going for a movie or out for lunch. However, Friday nights are set aside for socialising as we get invited to a lot of parties and event, and we have to attend them.

I have spent so many fun-filled weekends with my family that I really cannot point out one particular weekend.

My idea of relaxation is either reading books or listening to music. At times, I just feel like staying alone. I don’t even feel like talking to any one. All I want to do is sit in a corner with a cup of tea and do nothing.

I spend a lot of my time at my home in Budhanilkantha.

The whole ambience here is very beautiful and peaceful. Other than that, I enjoy walking around the Durbar Marg area. Gokarna is another place that I like to go for weekends.
