Often hailed as the greatest showman of Indian cinema, Raj Kapoor’s love for pani puri reflects his zest for life and celebration of simple pleasures. The burst of flavors and textures in this street food delicacy perfectly captures his vibrant spirit.
According to reports, at precisely 6 p.m., he would depart from the studio and head to Chembur Station. There, he frequented a pani-puri vendor, indulging in his favorite street snack. Adjacent to it stood a South Indian eatery, where he savored dosa and medhu vada, followed by a filter coffee. And there was no way this routine could be broken or altered.
