When promoting films, celebrities often indulge in local delights and take their foodies fans on a joyous ride recommending a few must-haves and or must-visit spots on their journey. From Kartik Aaryan relishing a Gujarati thali in Ahmedabad to Vicky Kaushal, Amy Virk, and Triptii Dimri enjoying parathas in New Delhi, these promotional events allow the actors a break from their fitness and diet routine and help them connect with their fans through food.
Currently, Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao are busy promoting their upcoming Stree 2. They have landed in Kolkata, West Bengal, and Shraddha is already indulging in her favourite sweet and street food from the state.

In a story shared by Shraddha Kapoor on Instagram, the actor was seen indulging puchka or gol gappe. While she shared an image of gulping down puchka, it is evident that the actor did not budge from relishing other street foods on display.
The spread included dahi bhalla, crispy papdi, and chopped vegetables like onion, chillies, and more. While the chef was seen distributing tangy and spicy puchkas, foodies are wondering what all did the Stree 2 actor relish on her arrival in Kolkata.

A few hours ago, the actor took to Instagram stories to share what she was having in Kolkata. The plate had bhapa or steamed sandesh and two pieces of rose-flavoured sandesh. Well, don’t ask just Bengalis, any foodie who has ever tasted sandesh will tell you what kind of delight the sweet dish brings to the taste buds.
The actor captioned the story, “Stree aa gayi Kolkata (Stree has arrived in Kolkata).” She picked up a piece of white sandesh shaped like a conch shell. It was garnished with pista or pistachio. Knowing that Shraddha Kapoor prioritises food above everything, it was no surprise that she decided to indulge in the most popular Bengali sweet.
5 Variants Of Sandesh Foodies Must Know
Aam Sandesh
Available in summer and monsoon, aam sandesh is a seasonal variant that you must try, especially if you like the flavours of mango. Vendors use ripe fruit pulp to prepare the delicacy and add natural colour and sweetness to it. The vibrant yellow hue makes it shine out among its peers in a sweet shop.
Gurer Jolbhora Sandesh
This unique variety of sandesh promises a burst of flavour in your mouth as soon as you bite it. It is prepared by filling sandesh with liquid jaggery or nolen gur. The moment you bite it, jaggery oozes out, and hence, the name ‘gurer jolbhora’.
Kesar Sandesh
Kesar sandesh is a variant of the popular Bengali sweet dish that boasts subtle flavours and colours. It has a golden hue that comes from saffron strands added to chhena or freshly curdled milk. It is also garnished with saffron and nuts.
Nolen Gurer Sandesh
Nolen gurer sandesh is a winter delight prepared with jaggery or date palm jaggery. It is known for its caramel-like flavour and distinct aroma. If you ever visit Kolkata in winter, don’t forget to try this delicious delight.
Chocolate Sandesh
For all the chocolate lovers out there, this variety of sandesh is a must-have. It incorporates the rich texture and notes of chocolate making it a popular pick among children. But like chocolate petha is an absolute try when you are in Agra, chocolate sandesh falls in the same category.
