Nimrat Kaur Has A Rasgulla Moment In Kolkata And We're All Smiling: 'My Favourite'

NDTV4 days ago
Nimrat Kaur's recent Instagram post is a delightful ode to Kolkata's culinary charm. And at the heart of it lies one of Bengal's most iconic desserts: the irresistible rasgulla. The video opens mid-air, with Nimrat inside a flight, seemingly on her way to Kolkata. Moments later, the camera pans to a stunning view of Kolkata's skyline from what looks like her hotel. We see a few skyscrapers in the distance and the city stretching out below. Then comes a fleeting shot of the Victoria Memorial, a timeless symbol of the city. The scene next shifts to a fast-moving car through the streets of Kolkata.
But the real star of the reel appears at the end. We see Nimrat stepping into a Bengali sweet shop. There, in a quiet moment of pure foodie joy, she picks up a small bowl holding a single piece of rasgulla.
Her eyes light up as she says softly but with unmistakable affection, 'My favourite.' Then comes the familiar ritual for many rasgulla lovers. She gently squeezes out some of the syrup before popping the soft and spongy sweet into her mouth. What follows is a childlike exclamation. 'Bestest, best, best!'
The video captures more than just a celebrity travel moment. It shows the emotional connection food can evoke. In a city known for its deep-rooted food traditions, rasgulla remains a timeless favourite, both for locals and visitors.

This isn't the first time Nimrat Kaur has expressed her love for Indian sweets. In a post from March 2025, Nimrat shared a throwback video that was nothing short of a full-on dessert celebration. The clip showed her biting into a giant rasgulla, followed by a generous helping of ghevar. But it was a yellow rasgulla filled with kesar and pista that truly stole the show. Breaking it open to reveal its rich filling, Nimrat called it one of her childhood favourites. Click here to know more.
Whether it's a quick bite in Kolkata or a nostalgic food trail elsewhere, Nimrat Kaur's posts are a reminder of how food connects us to places, memories and joy. And it seems, for her, the rasgulla clearly holds a special place.

Why Do Indian Filmmakers Continue To Embrace Pakistan Despite Hostility? DNA Explained

Even as tensions between India and Pakistan remain high with trade, sports, and even airspace connectivity severed, some Indian filmmakers appear unshaken in their affection for Pakistan. This has raised eyebrows among many who question the rationale behind such cross-border creative alliances. Recently, singer-actor Amrinder Gill's film Chal Mera Putt 4 has come under scrutiny. The film's release in India has been delayed as the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has yet to clear it, reportedly due to the inclusion of several Pakistani actors, most notably Iftikhar Thakur. Thakur, a controversial Pakistani comedian and actor, has previously made derogatory remarks about the Indian Army and mocked Indian filmmakers who gave him work. His statements, filled with anti-India sentiment, have triggered public outrage in India. In today's DNA, Zee News managing editor, Rahul Sinha, explained why do Indian filmmakers continue to embrace Pakistan despite hostility? Watch Today's Full Episode भारत-पाकिस्तान में फिर 'कुछ बड़ा होने वाला है'! अखिलेश के 'मस्जिद मार्ग' का विश्लेषण जनरल मुनीर का गुरूर..कैसे 'मिट्टी में धंस गया'? देखिए #DNA LIVE Rahul Sinha के साथ#ZeeLive #ZeeNews #DNAWithRahulSinha @RahulSinhaTV — Zee News (@ZeeNews) July 23, 2025 The controversy echoes a similar incident involving Diljit Dosanjh, whose film faced backlash for prioritising a Pakistani actress. Both actors, despite being celebrated faces in Punjabi cinema, are now being criticised for repeatedly collaborating with Pakistani talent. Critics argue that filmmakers like Gill and Dosanjh, under the pretext of artistic freedom and cultural harmony, are indirectly encouraging those who insult India and its armed forces. The broader concern is whether financial incentives are being prioritised over national sentiment. Some voices, including actor Binnu Dhillon, have taken a firm stand against working with those who openly disrespect India. They question the moral integrity of supporting artists like Thakur, who feed off Indian audiences while ridiculing the country. As the debate intensifies, one thing is clear: while art may transcend borders, respect for the nation and its defenders cannot be compromised. Filmmakers must decide whether national dignity is worth sacrificing for box-office profits.

Woman 'dead' for 2 minutes reveals she saw "Avatar" like beings on the other side

Image credits: Getty Images The idea of 'other' is an enigma so intriguing that the human mind can't help but be curious. The other world, the other beings, the other planet, the other life, something that is unknown to humans, has all their attention. While the task of exploring other planets and beings is being eagerly carried out by astronomical authorities like NASA and other companies, it seems the other life part has been taken into account by the rest of the humans. For the ever-wondering mind questioning what happens after death, a woman who was pronounced dead for two minutes seems to have the answer. Nicole Meeuws was lifeless on a hospital bed, pronounced dead when she felt "pulled" from her body and entered a tunnel of light where she met "blue-skinned" beings, as cited in a NY Post report quoting NeedToKnow. The 49-year-old was in the hospital after losing her baby and was rushed into emergency surgery, where she began to go in and out of consciousness due to some complications. 'I found myself passing through a tunnel of blue and white light, not a beam, but a corridor that felt alive,' she said. The artist who is from Greece said that the light even had a temperature and tone, "almost like music made of water", and she entered a glowing space with colours such as silver, soft violets and deep radiant blues.'It didn't feel frightening; it felt like I was being called home,' she said. 'The chamber was vast, larger than any earthly structure, and everything pulsed gently like a heartbeat,' she added. 'And then I saw them.' What lies on the other side? Image credits: Instagram/bohodogon Well, according to Meeuws, it's "blue-skinned" beings with human faces, akin to the characters in the popular sci-fi movie "Avatar." 'Two towering beings seated on marble-like thrones, shimmering with energy. Their eyes were large and indigo, filled with kindness and recognition,' she said. Not only did they look like Avatar, but these beings also had fish-like tails rather than legs, had gills and were covered in scales. Additionally, they were both male and female intertwined and didn't speak in words, which did not cause any problems for the woman, as she understood everything. She said that she didn't understand their language, but they made her feel at home and telepathically communicated with her that life is an illusion, and we start to live when we die. They also told her that she wasn't meant to have children and was given the gift to teach people about the "other side." 'I felt more known than I had ever felt in my life; I didn't want to leave,' she noted. 'I understood this place, this feeling, and I truly believe it was the original home from which we all come from.' 'I learned that death is not an end, it's a return to our actual lives,' Meeuws added. The journey back to life Image credits: Instagram/bohodogon After being "zapped" back into her body, the woman communicated with her husband in a high-pitched tone and an "unfamiliar" language. 'It sounded like dolphin clicks. It continued for minutes, which left everyone around us stunned. But I couldn't stop it – it was coming through me, not from me,' Meeuws said. 'My senses were heightened, and I could hear emotion in people's voices as colour. I returned completely different; almost reborn,' she added. While Meeuws has not had a similar experience ever since, she has had visions of the blue-skinned beings often. According to her, they are non-alien creatures from the Apkallu interdimensional tribe, also referred to as Demigods, that allegedly have given civilisation to mankind. She also shared that the mission she was given by the beings is to spread the message that "love is stronger than death." 'To create heaven on Earth, we must spend each day spreading love. I'm no longer afraid of death because I know what's waiting for me on the other side,' she noted. 'It was a beginning, not an end.' Do you believe in the afterlife or other beings?
