This famous British social media celebrity flew to India for just one ingredient!
Some go the extra mile for love. This one flew across continents just to get curry leaves. British content creator Ved Campbell Maddison, known for speaking fluent Hindi, using Mumbai-style humour, and telling stories in his quirky way, has gone viral once again with his latest video. It begins with a small food craving from his partner: 'Mujhe kaanda poha chahiye.' But there's one condition: she wants it made with fresh curry leaves. While most people would make do with dried ones or leave them out, this couple had other plans and took the craving to a whole new level. In true cinematic style, he sets off on what turns into a full-blown curry leaf mission. From boarding an overnight flight to tackling Mumbai's bustling local trains, Ved documents every step of his adventure with trademark quirkiness. At one point, he is yawning dramatically in a crowded train. At another, he is helping co-passengers with luggage while tracking down the elusive patta. Eventually, he secures the prize from a local Indian market and hops back on a flight, leaves in hand and mission complete. Back in the kitchen, the scene is nothing short of delightful. His girlfriend rinses the poha while Ved cheerfully calls them 'poha flakes.' He roasts peanuts, adds mustard seeds, jeera powder, chillies, and finally the freshly flown curry leaves. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 새로 나온 '암보험' 최적가 가입인기!

" Woh, Main Aur Kaanda Poha": Content Creator Crosses Border For Curry Leaves, Video Goes Viral
Can a poha dish truly be complete without curry leaves? We think not. And neither did this content creator couple, who quite literally crossed borders to secure the fragrant greens needed to elevate their kanda poha recipe. In a now-viral video shared on Instagram by Ved Campbell Maddison, we see just how far one might go in the name of good poha. The clip opens with his girlfriend expressing her craving, "Mujhe kaanda poha chahiye (I want onion poha)," before adding, "I need curry patta (leaves)." And like any committed partner on a culinary mission, Ved springs into action in no time. Known for his quirky humour and expressive storytelling, Maddison is seen exiting his home, declaring his intent to return with the 'prized' ingredient. What follows is no quick trip to the grocer. Ved boards an overnight flight, navigates the chaos of a Mumbai local train while yawning dramatically, chats with co-passengers, and even helps carry their luggage, all before proudly securing a fresh packet of curry leaves from a local market. Mission accomplished, he boards yet another flight home, triumphantly bearing his fragrant cargo. Back in the kitchen, the cooking begins. As his girlfriend rinses the poha, Ved refers to it as "poha flakes" with a grin. He then chops onions and green chillies, heats oil in a pan, and adds peanuts. Once they are roasted, she sets them aside, making way for mustard seeds, jeera powder, chopped vegetables, and, of course, the curry leaves to sizzle in the same pan. In classic Ved fashion, he dubs the turmeric addition a "Haldi party" and lets the mixture cook with the lid closed. The couple's joy is infectious-and judging by their expressions, the end result is nothing short of delicious. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ved campbell maddison (@vedmaddison) The video, captioned "Kaanda Poha Princess Part One," has racked up over 1.9 million views. Viewers are loving Ved's dedication to flavour - and to his girlfriend. One user said, 'That's the definition of if he wanted to he would,' pointing towards Ved's dedication in bringing the curry leaves for his ladylove. Another person mentioned, 'Bro if you need a plant, let me know.' 'This is the dream guys! woh main aur kaanda poha!' said someone on the internet. Yet another social media user commented, 'Kadi patta lene ke liye videsh se mumbai gaya,' followed by a crying emoji showing his/her appreciation for the foodie content creator. We are super impressed by the content creator's experience of making poha. Aren't you?

12 years of Raanjhanaa: 5 films capturing same chaos of love and obsession
Twelve years ago, on June 21, 2013, Raanjhanaa was released to the public, telling an emotional story of naiveté, obsession, and loss that many could relate to. The film examines the various shades of unrequited love and teenage passion, with Dhanush's explosive Hindi cinema debut, a haunting score by A.R. Rahman, and Aanand L. Rai's grounded directing serving as its anchors. In honour of the film's 12th anniversary, we take a look back at five more films that share the same Raanjhanaa vibe—an intense emotional journey marked by untidy longing and honest vulnerability. Raanjhanaa Stream Bareilly Ki Barfi, Highway, and Piku now on OTTplay Premium— heartwarming journeys filled with charm, self-discovery, and unforgettable characters. As a modern-day adaptation of Great Expectations, Fitoor explores issues of social class and the psychological wounds caused by unrequited love. The film stars Katrina Kaif as the icy, otherworldly Firdaus, and Aditya Roy Kapur plays the role of an artist whose obsession with the eerie Kashmir backdrop and artistic images leads him to fall in love. It tackles the same themes as Raanjhanaa—the way love can turn into an obsession and the trauma that people carry with them into adulthood. Tamasha How can we cope when the pressures of conforming to society stifle our true selves? Two individuals, Ved (Ranbir Kapoor) and Tara (Deepika Padukone), who meet in Corsica and develop feelings for each other's unrestrained selves, are the means through which this is examined in Tamasha by Imtiaz Ali. Similar to Kundan in Raanjhanaa, Ved also grapples with the conflict between conforming and fully embracing life. Romance is depicted in both films as a path to self-discovery rather than merely a romantic pursuit. Cocktail At its heart, Cocktail is about friendship, love, and the hazy space in between. Relationships are unpredictable, as shown in the stories of Meera, Veronica, and Gautam, portrayed by Diana Penty, Deepika Padukone, and Saif Ali Khan, respectively. Similar to Raanjhanaa, it explores the complexities of love and asks if it is ever sufficient on its own. Love is depicted as unpredictable, fragile, and chaotic at times. Manmarziyaan One of the most direct spiritual descendants of Raanjhanaa is Manmarziyaan by Anurag Kashyap. Rumi, played by Taapsee Pannu, is conflicted between Robbie's (Abhishek Bachchan) level-headed wisdom and Vicky's (Vicky Kaushal) impulsive, poisonous love. The film exposes the tumultuous emotional turbulence that frequently characterises contemporary love, thanks to a scathing screenplay by Kanika Dhillon. Vicky is just like Kundan: a real, flawed, and obsessed person. OK Bangaram This Tamil romantic comedy features Dulquer Salmaan and Nithya Menen as a contemporary Mumbai couple negotiating a live-in relationship, and it was directed by Mani Ratnam. The emotional tug of war between commitment and independence is delicately woven into the second half of Raanjhanaa; despite its seemingly lighter tone, OK Bangaram manages to portray this conflict. It's about a love that finds its way through life while holding on to its dreams. Raanjhanaa reflected on more than simply romantic relationships; it also explored themes of sacrifice, identity, and the challenges of first love.
