Interview: Delhi girl Sanya Malhotra remembers her mother’s pakodas in Mumbai rain

I endorse carefully

Usually celebrities are accused of endorsing products that they themselves do not use. But influenced by them, fans buy the product. When we asked Sanya, who had come to the capital to launch the new flavor of probiotic milk Yakult, about this, she said, ‘I have been using this product for a long time. I already keep posting about it on social media. While endorsing any other product, I also keep in mind that I do not ask my fans to buy any product that I am not fully aware of. It is very important for me that if my values ​​do not match with any brand, then I do not consider it right to associate with it.’

This is how Sanya learns

She further said, ‘Due to this, I refused to be associated with many products. Due to this thinking of mine, even my team is not happy with me. Actually, as a celebrity, you get offers to endorse different types of products, but I think a lot about these things. Initially, after doing some endorsements, I used to feel that I should not have done this. Now I feel that you learn these things more with age.’

‘I will go home and eat pakoras’

There is no dearth of pakoda and tea lovers in Delhi during the rainy season. We asked Sanya if she too craves for pakodas as soon as the raindrops start falling? In response to this she said, ‘Absolutely, I too remember pakodas as soon as it rains. I usually don’t drink tea, but everyone at my house drinks a lot of tea and eats pakodas. Today I remembered that as soon as it rains, my mother used to make pakodas. Let me tell you that my mother makes very good pakodas. Especially the spinach and cauliflower pakodas made by her are amazing. You reminded me well. Now I am going to eat pakodas when I go home.’
