I feel at home in Ahmedabad: Sushant Singh
Sushant Singh Rajput has been to Ahmedabad several times and this time he tells us how much does he love the city. "I have been to Ahmedabad few times on different occasions, and every time I come here, I always get to see something new! Roads, malls, buildings everything is so developed that the city looks at par with any other metro. People are very warm here, but I feel they need to wear helmets when they are driving two wheelers. Chief Minister Narendra Modi has done amazing developments for the city, and I am almost sure he will soon be our prime minister," he says.
His last few visits have been short but when he was in Ahmedabad last to shoot for his UTV and Abhishek Kapoor's Kai Po Che, he was here for almost two months. "When I was shooting for my film Kai Po Che in Gujarat, I had an amazing experience. I remember when I was shooting in one of the pols in old Ahmedabad, a man came to me in middle of the shot and was adamant that I speak to his daughter on the phone as she loved me as Manav in Pavitra Rishta. I was completely shocked! I must say people here are very loving and spontaneous.
I also had the best time in Vadnagar (Mehsana district), where we were shooting near a temple that was 100 years old. With the kind of welcome and love I receive in Gujarat, I just feel at home," expresses this Delhi guy.
As far as the food is concerned, the biggest reason why Sushant likes the city is for its "lip smacking food. I love street food, so I gorged on the eight-flavoured panipuri and mouth watering golas where you have delicious concoctions topped with fruit chunks and cubes, chocolates, rabdi, tutti-fruiti, condensed milk and cherry. I tried flavours like chocolate, raw mango, kalakhatta, fresh fruit (orange, kiwi, strawberry, mulberry and pineapple. Although I was here during the summers, I occasionally enjoyed gorging on aam ras and chaats. I also had a great time sampling Gujarati cuisine. Though this city is dominated by Gujaratis, I was surprised to see yummy non-veg food. It is good to see cuisine from all across the globe here."
The fun for Sushant didn't end here, he also had a chance to have a blast on the rides in a fun fair - "it's something I haven't done in the past. I thoroughly had a great time. People here are friendly, and that's why I can boast of some friends I have in this city."
We are sure his experience in the city is one of the most memorable one that he will always cherish in a special corner of his heart!
