Kolkata: Former skipper of Team India Sourav Ganguly has emerged as a winner of hearts again for Odia people this time.
In one of his popular TV shows-Dadagiri in Zee Bangla, Dada just couldn’t resist himself taking a bite at ‘Rasagola’.
While hosting the show, Sourav said, “People have a notion that Rasagola is a popular delicacy of Kolkata. However, the truth is that Rasagola belongs to Odisha. The information has been revealed from Jagannath temple sources.”
“In my playing days when I was going to Cuttack, I had tasted some luscious sweets which is not found anywhere else,” added Ganguly.
Thanks @SGanguly99 Dada for speaking the truth 😎
