Pani puri — known as puchka in parts of eastern India and gol gappe in the north — is one of India’s most loved street foods. While regional variations are widely accepted, a food combination recently shared by television actress Surbhi Chandna has left social media both amused and shocked.
Taking to Instagram stories, the actress shared a light-hearted video from her home that quickly caught fans’ attention. The clip featured her mother-in-law cooking mutton curry — but the real surprise came when Surbhi revealed how her husband prefers to eat it.
A combo no one saw coming
In the video, Surbhi disclosed that her husband, Karan Sharma, enjoys pairing mutton curry with the puri shells of pani puri — a combination that instantly drew reactions from everyone present.
The actress was heard exclaiming in disbelief, “Oh my God, yeh alag hi kuch combo hai, jo zindagi mein kabhi kisi ne nahi khaya hoga,” roughly translating to, “This is such a strange combination — I don’t think anyone has eaten this before.”
Her mother-in-law’s visible shock added to the humour of the moment, making the video all the more relatable and entertaining.
Fans react with laughter
The unusual pairing sparked instant reactions online, with fans debating whether the combo was “creative” or simply “unacceptable”. Many viewers said the clip reflected everyday family banter and why celebrity home moments often feel relatable.
Food lovers, meanwhile, joked that pani puri purists might find the combination hard to forgive, while others applauded Karan Sharma’s experimental palate.
When food meets fun
Surbhi Chandna’s playful post is the latest example of celebrities sharing unfiltered glimpses of their everyday lives — moments that resonate far more than polished photoshoots.
Whether the pani puri–mutton curry combination catches on or remains a one-household experiment, the video has certainly added a dash of humour to social media feeds — and reignited the age-old truth that food opinions can be deeply personal.
