It is true when they say you can take a Mangalurean out of Kudla, but can't take Kudla out of a Mangalurean. And the same holds true for the celebrities hailing from namma Kudla as well. Over the weekend, the world was witness to B-town actor and Kudla ponnu Shilpa Shetty 's love for a local delicacy — Pelakaida Gatti . In a post that went viral, Shilpa shared a video of her indulging in a sweet dish that is made out of jackfruit and is gently steamed in teak leaves. A monsoon season favourite, Shilpa confessed that it is one of her top faves and cousins who have come over from Mangaluru made it for her. "And I'm pairing it with Moong Payasam which I absolutely love. This is for all my Mangalurean friends," she said towards the end of the video. Within no time, the post fetched endless comments from nostalgia Kudlaites all over the world. Fan pages waxed eloquent on how the actor still retains her simplicity and praised her for publicising this humble but tasty treat. We agree... Kudla does that to you.
