Veteran Actress Rakhee Gulzar's Puchka-Eating Video Wins Hearts Online, Watch
A clip of veteran actress Rakhee Gulzar enjoying puchkas (pani puris) has been receiving a lot of love from her fans. Bengali filmmaker Shiboprosad Mukherjee shared the heartwarming video on his official social media handle. In the clip, Rakhee Gulzar is seen savoring golgappas in a bustling area of Kolkata, while the filmmaker playfully asks the vendor not to serve her more puchkas — as she seems to be thoroughly enjoying them!
Rakhee Gulzar, legendary actress and wife of celebrated lyricist Gulzar, is seen wearing a printed saree, relishing her puchkas. The video appears to be from the set of her upcoming film 'Aamar Boss'.
Rakhee Gulzar’s Return to the Silver Screen
Rakhee Gulzar has been working with Shiboprosad Mukherjee on 'Aamar Boss', shot in Kolkata last year. The film marks her much-anticipated return to cinema after a long hiatus. After Sharmila Tagore's collaboration with Shiboprosad Mukherjee, Rakhee's project is highly-anticipated among her fans.
In a conversation with ETimes, filmmaker Shiboprosad Mukherjee shared his experience of working with the iconic actress. He said,
"Working with Rakhee Ji was a beautiful experience. She mingled with all the cast and crew and gave unique names to all of them. Calcutta food was a special highlight, especially the puchka sequence within the film — she gulped down 30 puchkas!"
He added humorously, "I told her, 'What are you doing? There are many other days.' She said, 'I'm not eating.' I said, 'I saw you.' She is a fantastic cook herself and knows which food items pair best with each other. She even likes Gujarati food and advised me to take some for my wife because she’s fond of it."
Mukherjee further revealed that Rakhee Gulzar contacted him because she particularly loved his previous film Haami and wanted to return to acting with a project of similar depth and quality.
About Aamar Boss
Aamar Boss explores the complex relationship between a mother and her son. The film is co-directed by Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy. Both filmmakers praised Rakhee Gulzar for being "absolutely a director’s actor."
Roy told ETimes,"She listens carefully to the director's instructions and follows them minutely."
Rakhee Gulzar is a Padma Shri awardee who made her acting debut with the Bengali film Badhu Baran in 1967. Her first Hindi film was Jeevan Mrityu (1970). Over her illustrious career, she has appeared in more than 100 films.
