Bollywood Star Ayushmann Khurrana Takes South Korean Singer Eric Nam on an Unforgettable Culinary Journey Across India

Bollywood sensation Ayushmann Khurrana recently played the role of a gracious host as he treated South Korean singing sensation Eric Nam to an exquisite culinary adventure spanning the diverse flavors of India. The meeting between the two influential artists, both recognized by TIME Magazine, took place in Mumbai during Eric’s visit for Lollapalooza.
The connection between Ayushmann and Eric blossomed last year at the TIME 100 Impact Award in Singapore, where both were honored. The duo shares not only their musical prowess but also a profound love for food, prompting Ayushmann to showcase the rich tapestry of Indian cuisine to his newfound friend.

From the streets of Mumbai to the heart of North India, Ayushmann curated a menu featuring iconic dishes. Eric savored the crispy Kanda Bhajiya with vibrant green and red chutneys, indulged in the flavorful Pindi Chole Amritsari Kulcha, experienced the aromatic Hyderabadi Gosht Ki Biryani with Raaita, and relished the sweet decadence of Ras Malai from the East.

Expressing his joy, Ayushmann stated, “I wanted Eric to feel the celebration of life through our diverse and unique culinary traditions. India is known for its incredible food, and I could see his eyes light up with each bite.”

Grateful for the experience, Eric Nam remarked, “Ayushmann was a gracious and welcoming host, guiding me through the tastiest dishes of this beautiful and vast country. I love India, and it was wonderful tasting every corner of its incredible food palate.”*
