Mumbai’s Bhojpuri queen Trisha Kar Madhu turned heads with an Instagram reel featuring her chomping on the massive ‘Hathi Kaun Puri’ from Bihar’s Ara. The video, shared on Thursday, blends foodie joy with celebrity nostalgia, mentioning longtime collaborator Pawan Singh.
Dressed for an occasion, Trisha reacts to the enormous puri with wide-eyed wonder. ‘Have you seen a puri like this?’ someone asks. ‘It’s cold now—this is the elephant ear puri,’ she quips, before revealing, ‘Pawan showed it to me first; I ate it at his spot.’ Her caption gushes over her puri obsession, particularly Ara’s version.
Fans couldn’t get enough, flooding the post with reactions as views skyrocketed. The behind-the-scenes voiceover praises the puri’s durability, prompting Trisha’s enthusiastic nod: ‘We definitely need to have it once more.’
Ara’s ‘Hathi Kaun Puri’ earns its fame legitimately—it’s exponentially bigger than ordinary ones and resists spoilage like no other. A fixture in Bihari wedding feasts and big events, it unites communities and stars alike in savory bliss.
From her Kolkata roots on January 10, 1994, Trisha debuted as a kid on ‘Hum Hain Hindustani,’ evolved via modeling and Bengali cinema, and exploded in Bhojpuri with powerhouses like Pawan Singh and Khesari Lal Yadav. Her empire of fans proves her lasting draw, fueled by such heartfelt, flavorful shares.
