Actor Nikita Dutta says summer and mangoes go hand in hand for her. Known for films like Kabir Singh and Jewel Thief - The Heist Begins, the actress revealed that mangoes are an essential part of her daily routine.
Nikita shared that she starts every morning with six soaked almonds and a whole Alphonso mango. She also enjoys Kesar and Langda varieties, saying it is the unique taste of mangoes that makes them her favorite fruit. Recalling her childhood, she said she often fought with her sister over getting a larger share when two mangoes were divided among three siblings.
One unusual food combination she loves is “puri with mango,” which she first tasted at a Gujarati friend’s home. For indulgence, she prefers mangoes with vanilla ice cream, though she sometimes replaces the ice cream with yogurt for a healthier option.
When asked which co-star would win a mango-eating contest, Nikita jokingly named Abhishek Bachchan, saying he could survive any eating competition.
Speaking about coping with the intense summer heat, she said her portable handheld fan is a daily companion on set. She also prefers cotton and linen clothing, lighter colors, carries a change of clothes and a mini shower kit, and avoids drinking very cold water, believing it can be harmful to the body.
