As we celebrate National Ice Cream Day today, Nitanshi Goel tells us all things ice cream, from equating Shah Rukh Khan to the cold dessert to wanting to go on an ice cream escapade with Rashmika Mandanna and Ranveer Singh, and inventing her own ‘Sunshine Scoop’.
Event Context
Butterscotch for as long as I can remember. It’s sweet, comforting, and somehow every scoop feels a little nostalgic.
It was during my Cannes trip, I don’t remember the exact flavour but it was served as a flower-shaped cone, which made it so special. It tasted even better while walking around Cannes!
If you could go on an ice cream escapade, which actors would you choose to do it with ?
All the little ice cream dates with my family after dinner or after a long day. They’re never planned, but somehow they’re always the moments I remember the most.
Anytime! Happy? Ice cream. Celebrating? Ice cream. Bad day? Definitely ice cream. I genuinely think there’s never a wrong time for it.
Cone, always! And my favourite part is the very last bite. I love saving that last crunchy, chocolaty bite for the end. Sometimes I even save it for someone I love.
It instantly makes me smile. I become that little kid who’s excited about the smallest things. If possible, I could happily eat ice cream every single day.
Maybe butterscotch. Sweet, simple, a little old-school, and hopefully comforting to people.
I love having ice cream while travelling or by the beach. New places, new flavours, and an ice cream in hand… that’s my kind of happiness.
My family. Ice cream somehow makes every conversation longer and every outing a little more special.
So many times! Especially after long shooting days. One scoop, and somehow the day instantly feels lighter.
Shah Rukh Khan Sir. I think he’s someone people from every generation adore. There’s something really warm and comforting about him.
I’d love to go with Rashmika Mandanna, because I think she’d be just as excited as I would be to try every flavour on the menu, and Ranveer Singh, because I know he’d turn a simple ice cream outing into a full celebration!
Sunshine Scoop. A scoop of mango, vanilla clouds, crunchy waffle bites and chocolate-covered almonds. Like a warm hug in dessert form! And I would be first in line to buy it.
