Durga Puja this year was a very special one for us, after all, we had none other than Bengali superstar Ankush Hazra taking us around the gullies of Kolkata to soak in the celebrations. In the ‘City of Joy’, we relished Kathi Rolls, Fish Fry, Roshogullas and Puchka with the actor. Moreover, we even played a game of ‘Never Have I Ever’, Pujo edition!
Ankush Hazra Plays ‘Never Have I Ever’ Pujo Edition With Curly Tales
On this episode of Tere Gully Mein, Bengali actor Ankur Hazra led us to some of Kolkata’s most iconic Durga Puja pandals. We munched on Jhalmuri, devoured Fish Fry and much more. The city was packed with festive vibes and spiritual fever, and we were all in for it. And of course, we couldn’t help playing a game of ‘Never Have I Ever’ to sum up Ankur Hazra’s fondest Pujo memories.
We challenged Ankush Hazra to take a bite of a Roshogulla every time he admitted to something as part of the game. First, we asked him if he’d ever skipped visiting a pandal to gorge on bites at food stalls. The actor answered in the affirmative and took a bite of the sweet. Next, we asked him if he ever used his celeb status to skip a long queue at a pandal.

Shyly, he answered that he didn’t need to. People would kindly give him way and ask him to move ahead. “Never have I ever flirted with someone during puja,” was our next statement. “I have done it from a distance, and even told my friends about the girl I liked. But I couldn’t tell her as I was scared of rejection.” “I would wonder if she would slap me, reject me in front of my friends… so rejection scared me,” he admitted.

Later, we asked him if he ever judged anyone’s mishti choice. Absent mindedly, Ankush couldn’t help but tuck into his bowl of Roshogullas. But he quickly revealed that he had the sweet not because he agreed with the statement, but because he enjoyed the sweet so much.
