Finally, a celebrity talking about something we all love! Forget the fancy restaurants, give me a roadside stall with spicy pani any day. She seems down-to-earth.

Interesting to see this light-hearted post when the article says her latest film is about serious topics like RAW and 26/11. Shows the range she has as an actor, from Anita in Bhabiji to these intense roles.

I tried pani puri for the first time on a trip to Delhi last year. It was an explosion of flavors! I completely understand her love for it now. Such a unique and delicious snack.

Respectfully, while I enjoy her work, the article feels a bit scattered. It jumps from pani puri to her filmography to hosting shows. Maybe focus more on her current projects? Still, pani puri love is universal! ✌️

The real debate is not about loving pani puri, but which city has the best one! Mumbai's sweet water or Delhi's spicy tangy? Saumya, please settle this! 😄
