"It was us, this big Indian family and we had this van that could accommodate all of us. Us also includes our cook and Ramu, who technically is my Dad's boy but I think that he is my Dad's best friend and we had to travel with them because he doesn't go anywhere without mangoes and chillies from India. Because chillies outside India arent that spicy apparently," she recalled.
Janhvi mentioned that in Italy, many roads were really narrow, making it difficult to navigate their van through them, "In the evenings, people would be out on the streets, playing music, having drinks but in comes this big black jeep blasting South Indian music and having theplas and paranthas in the van," she remembered.
"That trip was very memorable." she concluded.
