We so envy Sonam Kapoor and Imran Khan.

 

The stars of the upcoming movie, I Hate Luv Storys, which releases this Friday, had a rollicking time shooting for their movie in New Zealand.

 

During their stay, the stars got a chance to explore the adventure boulevard in scenic Queenstown, a city famous for scenery and known as the adventure capital of the world, with a nerve-shredding skydive and exhilarating jet boat ride!

Jetting down the rapids and skydiving were some of the things Imran enjoyed doing.

 

"Queenstown really is one of the most beautiful places that I have been to. Absolutely, everywhere you go, the place is sparklingly clean, the wildlife nature is just completely untouched and it's really nice to see that people care that much about their country.

 

"After filming continuously for a little over 2 weeks, we had two off days to try out some tourism activities. I'm a bit of a speed freak, so the jet boat ride felt amazing. Though it's one of the coolest things I have ever done, the highlight for me has been skydiving. This is something that I have always wanted to do all my life!"

Sonam too lived it up in New Zealand.

 

"Right since childhood, I have been fascinated with the open skies. And so skydiving in Queenstown New Zealand, was truly an experience out of my dreams. It was simply so fabulous! From an altitude of 15,000 feet, I was excited at the sight of the surrounding clouds and mountain peaks; from up there it all looked truly amazing!  I was euphoric! I've travelled the world but I'd never been to New Zealand before. Everybody said you have to go to New Zealand for the sheer beauty of this country. Queenstown is the most breathtaking place I've been to in my life. The landscape is spectacular and very diverse," gushes Sonam.
