Nikki said, “I have heard a lot about the food in Varanasi, and as soon as I got to know we’ll be shooting there, I made a list of things I wanted to try. I am a born foodie, and I ensure to try the local food of the city I am visiting. So, every day after our pack up, along with my team, I went to this place called ‘Kashi Chaat Bhandar’ which was near the hotel where we were put up, and tried dishes like Aloo Kachori, Tamatar Chaat, Litti Chokha, Chaat, and of course, ended the day with a Banarasi Paan! Out of all this Tamatar Chaat was something new that I tried, and it was really unique, we all loved it. I have never had such an amazing chaat ever, the food, the people everything was just perfect. The way the local people treat you, tell you all the stories about the city, share the history with you and make you try new things is very sweet. I just loved the whole experience.”
