Mumbai’s beloved television star Juhi Parmar has a heartwarming message for food lovers everywhere: nothing tops the humble dal-chawal. In a delightful Instagram video shared on Tuesday, the actress captured the universal longing of Indians for home-cooked comfort food, no matter where life takes them.
The clip shows Juhi and her young daughter rushing back from a society outing, bags in hand, straight to the dining table. Skipping any chit-chat, they dive into plates of steaming dal and rice with pure joy. To amplify the emotions, Juhi overlaid the iconic ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’ track, evoking nostalgia for family bonds and familiar flavors.
‘ You can take an Indian out of India, but you can’t take India out of their heart,’ Juhi captioned the post. She elaborated on the joys of traveling the world—endless fun, happiness, zero sorrows—but admitted one irreplaceable miss: family and homemade meals. ‘Dal-chawal, that simple yet soulful dish, calls us back every time,’ she wrote, asking followers who relates.
Juhi’s post struck a chord, reminding fans why this everyday staple reigns supreme over exotic cuisines. It’s not just food; it’s love on a plate.
A veteran of Indian television, Juhi recently shone in TVF’s ‘Yeh Meri Family,’ a nostalgic 90s family drama that captivated audiences across four successful seasons. Paired with Rajesh Kumar, her portrayal earned rave reviews, cementing her status as a household name.
In an era of gourmet trends and fusion eats, Juhi’s ode to simplicity underscores a timeless truth: the best meals are the ones that feel like home.
