For Europe Return Mira Rajput, Ghiya Is Her Long Lost Love

Nothing beats ghar ka khana and no one knows it better than Mira Rajput. Why though? She is back home from a long family vacation and got busy chomping away on delicious homecooked food. Mira went to Europe for a family vacation with her husband actor Shahid Kapoor and their two kids Misha and Zain. The trip was indeed a fun-filled affair with beautiful tourist destinations, scenic landscapes, and happy moments with family. Mira, however, faced some issues related to the food. She previously shared Stories on Instagram expressing their struggle to find vegetarian food. So, you can only imagine how happy Mira must have felt to finally get back on track and reunite with her desi homecooked meal. 

On her Instagram Stories, Mira Rajput Kapoor wrote, “There’s no place like home,” and she further continued by saying, “Eating ghiya like it’s my long-lost love.” Ghiya, also known as bottle gourd, or lauki, is packed with various health benefits. This vegetable is good for the heart, reduces stress, helps in weight loss and even boosts digestion.
