Shraddha Kapoor left for Italy on Sunday night with bestie Eshanka Wahi for a week of downtime. A source close to the actress reveals to Mirror, “Shraddha had promised Eshanka this trip long ago and now has taken some time off her hectic schedule to take off on a holiday with her. Her bestie moved to Delhi recently after she got married so Shraddha doesn't get to meet her often but she makes it a point to spend time with her whenever possible. The girls will be travelling across the country.“

Earlier this year, videos of Shraddha dancing at Eshanka's wedding had gone viral. The actress who has kicked off her training for Amole Gupte's Saina Nehwal biopic, is taking her badminton racket along so she can continue with her practise in between all the sight-seeing. Shraddha is expected to be back in Mumbai, in the coming week and will resume prep.

Before leaving the country, the actress however ensured that she rang in Fathers' Day with dad Shakti and the rest of the family. Brother Siddhanth was already in Europe but joined in the celebrations through a video call. “My daughter got me a huge bouquet and then we cut a cake. It was a surprise for me. Siddhanth had already made arrangements with Shraddha before leaving and joined in during the cake cutting,“ beamed the happy father.
