This gentleman in question is Arun Narayan Sabnis, father of Supriya Pilgaonkar and grandfather of the recent debutant, Shriya Pilgaonkar. Shriya calls her grandfather as her best travel buddy and traveled to Iceland a while back to celebrate his travels to his 75th country making it all the more special.
On being quizzed where next would she love to go with her grandfather who's now an Internet hero, she said, "My grandfather has been advised health rest but he's been certain to travel on the Route Trans-Siberian Railway. Whenever he does I won't miss out on a chance to go with him. He's my travel inspiration".
