The exchange during the live comments quickly became a topic of discussion on social media, with some viewers criticizing the discussion. During the conversation, Razdan spoke about his love for samosas and recalled how their aroma attracted him while eating when he was there.
“Delhi wala hoon aur samosa ho kahin pe aur woh wahan na pahunche!” (I am from Delhi and if there is a samosa somewhere, how can you not reach for it!) Razdan said on air. He then explained how after smelling the scent of samosas, he casually entered the area without knowing the show was on. “Ahha, mujhe pata nahi tha, show chal raha tha.
The main thing is to be relaxed and ghus gaya. Maine kaha, shayad a log break pe ho. Woh samose ki khushboo mujhe wahan kheench laayi.
Control nahi hota” (Oh, I didn’t know the show was on. I just casually walked in. I thought maybe you were on a break.
The smell of samosas lured me there. I can’t control myself,” he said. Razdan summed up his fondness for the snack by adding, “Samose sabko kheench ke laate hain” (Samosas attract everyone).
Ajinkya Rahane recalls her childhood memories of samosas and pakodas. The conversation then turned to Rahane’s food preferences, with Razdan noting that the former India batsman seemed more comfortable talking about such things now than he might have been during his playing days. “Lekin yeh dekhke achha lagta hai, Rahane sahab, ki abhi thoda-sa khul gaye hain. “Kyunki jab a cricket khel rahe the, tab a yeh pakode aur samose ki taraf zyada jaate nahi honge” (It’s nice to see, Rahane, that you’ve opened up a little now.
“If you played cricket, you probably weren’t that excited about pakodas and samosas,” Razdan said. Rahane responded by recalling the years he spent without such treats and the memories associated with them. “Bahut saal door raha hoon.
“Bachpan mein khaaye the samose ghar pe” (I stayed away from them for many years. I grew up eating samosas at home,” he said. He also remembers going to the market with his father on weekends to bring home samosas and pakodas.
“Yaad hota tha ki Saturday, Sunday ko hum jaate the market, samose aur pakode leke aate the Pa ke saath. “Woh yaadein taaza ho gayi” (I remember going to the market with my father on Saturday and Sunday to take home samosas and pakodas. Those memories came back,” Rahane added.
