When In Kolkata, Tamannaah Bhatia Couldn’t Resist Jhalmuri And Puchka

[ad_1] Relishing local street food is definitely a must while visiting a different city. Don't you agree? Well, at least Tamannaah Bhatia does. The actress has often revealed her foodie side to her fans. Tamannaah was in Kolkata recently due to some work commitments. Obviously, she dug into some classic snacks of the city and also made it a point to share her indulgences on social media.  First things first, Tamannaah Bhatia relished some jhalmuri.
