Dimple Kapadia calls herself the 'True Blood Kapoor' in jest
Mumbai, July 25
Bollywood actress Dimple Kapadia has proclaimed to be the "True Blood Kapoor". On Saturday, former actor and professional chef, Armaan Jain took to his Instagram, and shared a video from a weekend gathering.
The video shows Dimple Kapadia along with Armaan, Honey Irani and Armaan's mother, Reema Jain. They were feasting on the delicacy.
The senior actress said, "For the record, the only true blood Kapoor, which is me, remembered that there was this dish called Khatta Shahi, and I used to love it. And finally, we are cracking the recipe now".
Armaan said, "And I think I found this golden treasure because it was missing from my nani's recipe book. And we finally located it and honey aunty was sweet enough to call us home to eat".
Honey Irani said, "And let me tell you that I was the only lucky one who got the recipe for it. It's a banana leaf. Open it. And that's the paratha inside. The story behind this is that she, I think her father-in-law, Prithviraj Kapoor. Her father-in-law. He had done this. So it's a tradition in the Kapoor family".
Reema shared that filmmakers Farhan Akhtar and Zoya Akhtar were completely obsessed with the delicacy.
She said, "Farhan and Zoya, they were so obsessed with it that they used to be called every time mummy made it".

Actually, it's nice to see the Kapoor family preserving their culinary heritage. But calling oneself 'true blood Kapoor' feels a bit unnecessary - Raj Kapoor's other children might have a different take on that! Still, great to see Dimple having fun.
The way Farhan and Zoya Akhtar were obsessed with Khatta Shahi = me all the way! Family recipes carry so much history, especially when they've been passed down from Prithviraj Kapoor's time. Dimple Kapadia is a legend for this! 🤩
Honey Irani's connection, Armaan's discovery of the lost recipe, and Dimple's playful claim - this is such a wholesome Bollywood family moment. Makes you miss those good old days of film families sharing traditions. Khatta Shahi recipe please? 🥺
Dimple Kapadia always had that quirky personality - remember her 'Jab We Met' energy? True Blood Kapoor indeed! But honestly, every Kapoor has contributed to the legacy. Still, it's heartwarming to see them bond over food and memories. 😊
Aap log kya bol rahe ho? Dimple is just having fun with words. These family food stories are precious - my grandmother also used to make something called 'Shahi Tukda' and it's still a secret recipe. Khatta Shahi sounds similar but unique to Kapoor household. Loved this light-hearted article! 🙌
