Exclusive: Sai Tamhankar is learning THIS recreational sport; see pics!

Adventure enthusiast Sai Tamhankar thrives on the feeling of freedom. After her skydiving experience, the Mimi actress has taken on another thrilling activity — paragliding, which gives her wings.

Sai has been undergoing training for paragliding for a while, which has been a personal goal. Watching videos on paragliding sparked her interest and inspired her to find out more about it and eventually take the leap. She shares, “I’ve always pushed myself, whether on screen or off it. The adrenaline rush this activity brings, and the thrill of flying solo is something I find exhilarating.”

Sai, who is undergoing training at Kamshet (Maharashtra), says, “It requires a lot of preparation and learning. Like any course, there’s both theory and practice. It’s a wonderful blend of staying aware, applying theory, and staying focused. I’ve completed my level one certification and can’t wait for the next step. The hardest part is staying mindful of every detail — like wind direction and controlling the glider. The sensation when you are airborne is hard to describe, especially the feeling of being in control and yet not being in control. Gliding through the sky and absorbing the view gives you a new perspective.”
