Actors pop up their favourite popcorn flavours!

Popcorn is the go-to snack for any occasion, packed with tasty goodness and delightful flavours like buttered, salted, kettle-cooked, and caramel-drizzled. Whether on the move, at the movies, or chilling in your living room or at work, popcorn is the easiest to pop and never fails to please! National Popcorn Day celebrates this beloved treat, delivering the satisfying crunch we all adore. &TV artists, Ashutosh Kulkarni (Krishan Bihari Vajpayee, Atal), Gazal Sood (Kate Singh, Happu Ki Ultan Paltan), and Shubhangi Atre (Angoori Bhabhi, Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai) reveal their favourite popcorn flavours that satisfy their cravings, any time of the day! Ashutosh Kulkarni, essaying Krishan Bihari Vajpayee in &TV’s show Atal, says, “As a self-proclaimed sweet tooth, I often indulge in chocolates and candy bars. While they tackle most cravings, nothing hits the spot for a satisfying crunch like chocolate popcorn. This delightful treat strikes the perfect balance between sweetness and savoury goodness, making it a paradise for chocolate enthusiasts. Whether it's milk, dark, or white chocolate, the velvety texture paired with crispy popcorn creates a heavenly combo. I reminisce about the early days of dating my wife when popcorn dates were a regular delight. We explored various flavours, and chocolate quickly became a favourite of mine. Despite my consistent choice, my wife always enjoyed experimenting with different flavours, finding my preference amusing. Popcorn's timeless charm continues to be a snack that never fails to satisfy cravings.”

Gazal Sood, aka Kate Singh from Happu Ki Ultan Paltan, shares, “As a spicy-food enthusiast, spicy popcorn is my top choice. Whether it's the jalapeno zing or the sriracha kick, I crave that extra spiciness in my snacks. Perfect for movie nights or any occasion, popcorn is my go-to guilty pleasure or daily treat, consistently earning its spot as my favourite snack. Whether on the move or gearing up for a shoot, my backpack always carries a bag of popcorn, ready to be enjoyed anytime, anywhere. To curb those late-night cravings, I've stocked up on quick-prep packets. So, dive into your favourite flavours on this Popcorn Day and craft some sweet and spicy memories.” Shubhangi Atre, aka Angoori Bhabi from Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai, shares, “Caramel popcorn, a timeless sweet indulgence, is adored by everyone. It's an ideal choice for movie night, perfect for those with a sweet tooth. Among my favourite snacks, it offers a nostalgic and satisfying taste, evoking memories of movie theatres and childhood. As a versatile treat, it effortlessly pairs with anything. When Ashi and I plan a home binge-watch session, I experiment with various popcorn varieties like butter, cheese, or chocolate. Despite our similar taste buds, we both gravitate towards caramel for its heavenly mix of caramelised sugar and crispy popcorn. The classic combo of popcorn and caramel, I believe, has the magic to turn ordinary moments into extraordinary memories. Each popcorn kernel brings joy, a reminder of life's simple pleasures that make it delightfully delicious.”
