Russell Brand, Katy Perry to take romantic Indian holiday

Since tying the knot in the country in October last year, Perry has been travelling the world with her California Dreams tour while Brand has been busy working on his film career.

But a source told The Mirror that Brand has booked them a two-week break in a pool suite at a five-star hotel.

“As part of Katy’s birthday present last week Russell booked a trip to the Aman resort in New Delhi for New Year. Katy’s schedule is jam-packed right until the end of the year,” said the insider.

“They plan to spend Christmas in Britain with Russell’s mum and then fly to India on holiday. Russell and Katy have both agreed that the time they spend apart has been extremely tough and that they need to spend some quality time away together so that they can reconnect as a couple.”

The couple recently hooked up in New York to celebrate their wedding anniversary and Perry's 27th birthday and the source added the break was a wake-up call.

“After spending the weekend in New York together, they both realised just how distant they’ve become and whenever they have a precious couple of days together, they’re living in the knowledge that they’re going to be separated again and it causes a lot of tension between them. India is obviously a very special place for the couple as it’s where they got married so Russell thought that it would be perfect place to go. He is deeply spiritual and Delhi is ­somewhere they can both embrace that side of their lives.”
