Ira Dubey: Ganpati in Delhi is calmer... can never find this peace in Mumbai!

Every Mumbaikar knows what it's like to miss the masti and mania of Ganeshotsav in the city. ‘Delhi’s Ganeshotsav is quieter, peaceful’ The actor who has worked in films such as Aisha and the web series Potluck, shares, “I found Delhi’s Ganpati darshan rather powerful for me. It’s rather one of the biggest festivals in Maharashtra and the atmosphere for a week or even 10 days before it is like a frenzy.” ‘No Ganpati without modaks’ Ira Dubey confesses her love for Delhi food as she relishes lassi and modaks at Bengali Sweet House & Pastry Shop at Bengali Market in Mandi House. Modaks have just the same look and feel of a laddoo, but the cute shape of this prasad tempts me because there’s just no Ganpati without modaks!” For the love of Dilli ka khana Having spent most of her time in Mumbai, Delhi’s food is at the top of the list of things that Ira misses from her home town. So that’s one thing I’d surely take for my friends back in Mumbai, from my forever home, which is Delhi because after all I might be a Mumbai woman, through and through, but I’ll always be a Delhi girl.” ‘Capital’s theatre culture has evolved’ Belonging to a lineage of theatre actors, and having worked extensively with her mother, Lillete Dubey, Ira feels the Capital’s theatre scene has evolved over the years.
