Nagpur: A Pani Puri vendor Vijay Mewalal Gupta here in Nagpur is drawing attention with exclusive deals, including a lifetime unlimited pani puri offer for Rs 99,000 and a Rs 21,000 reward for anyone who can eat 151 pani puris in one sitting.
Crispy, hollow puris filled with spiced tangy water, potatoes, and chickpeas - popularly known as 'Golgappa' or 'Puchka' are doing rounds on various social media platforms, not for their recipe but because of a vendor in Nagpur.
The vendor's lifetime unlimited Pani Puri offer for Rs 99,000 allows customers to eat as much Pani Puri as they want at no additional cost for their entire lifetime.
Vijay believes that, given the rising inflation and the annual expenses people incur on pani puri, his offer is quite cost-effective.
