Bhojpuri fans are buzzing over a viral Instagram video where actress and dancer Trisha Kar Madhu indulges in Ara’s legendary ‘Hathi Kaun Puri.’ The Thursday post showcases the star’s playful side as she tastes the oversized delicacy at an event, sparking a wave of admiration online.
‘Puri is my favorite, especially from Ara,’ Trisha wrote alongside the footage. In the video, she’s asked if she’s ever seen such a giant puri, to which she replies with a laugh, ‘It’s gone cold, but this is the elephant ear one.’ She fondly recalls her first encounter, thanks to Pawan Singh. ‘He introduced me to it there,’ she adds.
The puri’s secret? It stays fresh for an incredibly long time, as noted by the videographer. Trisha’s eager agreement has only amplified the clip’s appeal, racking up massive engagement in hours.
This isn’t just street food; ‘Hathi Kaun Puri’ from Ara in Bihar’s Bhoozpur district is a cultural icon. Towering over standard puris in size, it’s a must-have for Bihar’s weddings and festivities, captivating taste buds far and wide—including Hollywood-level stars.
Trisha’s career trajectory is equally impressive. Starting young in Kolkata with television, she transitioned through modeling and regional films before dominating Bhojpuri screens. Hits with Pawan Singh and Khesari Lal Yadav solidified her stardom, and her massive fanbase continues to grow with moments like these that bridge celebrity and tradition.
