Shah Rukh Khan, Anushka Sharma and Imtiaz Ali were in Varanasi a couple of days ago for the promotions of Jab Harry Met Sejal. During their time there, the cast stopped by at a paan shop and pictures of Anushka feeding SRK paan went viral. And guess what? It wasn’t just the picture that went viral. The paanwaala’s shop got so popular that people have been flocking the area, asking him for the ‘Shah Rukh Khan Paan’.
So, the shop owner Satish Kumar decided to make a special Benarasi Meetha Paan named after SRK and sells it at Rs. 35.
After Shahrukh Khan has come and eaten paan at my shop, I am getting non stop requests for exactly the paan that he ate. Not just from Varanasi, but I am getting calls from other cities also to parcel and send that paan. So I decided to have that paan separately in my menu. It’s the most expensive paan that I have on my list.
Haha, pretty cool, no? Am I the only one reminded of this?
