If you come to Delhi and don’t savour the flavours of chaat in the city, then safe to say that your trip is wasted! The city is famous for its food but the chaat here is an emotion that you just cannot miss. And looks like actor Aparshakti Khurana knew about this because he made sure to try the aloo tikki chaat from one of the most famous chaat places in the city–Prabhu Chaat Bhandar AKA UPSC Chaat Wala.
Aparshakti Khurana Tries Delhi’s Iconic UPSC Chaat
Aparshakti Khurana took to Instagram to share about his visit to the iconic Prabhu Chaat Bhandar. In the video, he spoke about how he has always admired the work of legendary actor Dilip Kumar. As he grew older, he understood that every city had its own Dilip Kumar, someone who is a legend of their own craft and not necessarily acting.
During his recent trip to Delhi, he met “Dillllli Waaaale Dilip Kumar Saab”, the person behind the iconic Prabhu Chaat Bhandar near UPSC office. He shared how just like the legendary actor, this chaat shop puts all the right flavours to make sure you have the best aloo tikki of your life.
