Cinema VinesRaashii Khanna’s affection for ice cream is more than a simple sweet treat; it is a nostalgic reminder of her school days and a comforting pause after long shooting schedules. On Ice Cream Day, the actress opened up about the daily ritual that kept her spirits high during high‑school years. “Every day after school for about two years in high school, I would eat an ice‑cream cone,” she recalled. “I would otherwise stay on a strict diet, but this was my cheat meal—every day!” Despite her disciplined approach to nutrition, the frozen dessert remained a steadfast companion.
When asked about her relationship with cones, Khanna laughed, admitting that the pair have a “complicated relationship.” She explained that cones often end up on the floor, mirroring her own clumsy moments. “They somehow always end up on the floor and so does my elegance,” she joked, recalling the many times she has dropped her dessert. The actress also shared that while she loves ice cream, her fondness for the cone itself is less consistent, especially when the treat slips from her grasp.
Flavor-wise, dark chocolate tops her list. “Dark chocolate. It is dramatic, dependable, and understands my mood swings,” she said, describing it as her go‑to flavor. For dessert pairings, she prefers the classic combination of vanilla and hot brownie, calling it “undefeated.” She also confessed to a quirky indulgence: fries dipped in a milkshake. “The first time a friend made me try it, I judged her but then I couldn’t stop,” she admitted, hinting at the surprising appeal of unconventional pairings.
When asked to envision her signature ice‑cream, Khanna outlined a complex mix of dark chocolate, sea‑salt caramel, crunchy hazelnuts, and a surprising chili kick at the end. She added that her dream order would include a giant tub of dark chocolate, brownie chunks, roasted almonds, extra chocolate sauce, and a scoop of vanilla. In a playful segment, she matched Bollywood stars to ice‑cream flavors: Shah Rukh Khan as classic vanilla, Tabu as sophisticated dark chocolate, Madhuri Dixit as sweet mango, and Aamir Khan as thoughtful pistachio. She herself is best described as mint chocolate chip, noting that while opinions vary, loyal fans appreciate its unique blend.
Khanna also shared practical preferences: she favors kulfi over cones in public settings to avoid embarrassment, prefers a single scoop to avoid guilt, and chooses nuts for their crunch. She says she typically enjoys ice cream after dinner, citing it as a family tradition. When asked which co‑star she would share her last scoop with, she humorously answered, “Me!”
