For Lauren Gottlieb, Christmas has always been more than just a date on the calendar, it’s a feeling, a pause, and a reminder of what truly matters. This year, the dancer-actor has another reason to celebrate: a brand-new home in Mumbai, a city that has become central to her life and career.

Lauren shares her Christmas plans

While she’s still in the process of decorating the space and making it her own, Lauren won’t be ringing in Christmas at her new address just yet. “I’ve always loved using the holidays as a time to travel,” she says, explaining her fondness for cold destinations, snow-filled landscapes, and the kind of stillness that allows her to step away from the city’s constant buzz. For her, that quiet escape is where the magic of Christmas truly comes alive.
