Since it was a work-related trip and Khanzaadi could not explore as much as she wanted to, she wants to return to Jaipur soon.
Firoza Khan, aka Khanzaadi, recently checked something off her bucket list—her very first trip to Jaipur! The rapper-singer, absolutely smitten by the Pink City, explored the majestic beauty of Amber Fort and also fed fish in the Maota Lake. Besides, she made sure to savour the Rajasthani cuisine and even slipped into a traditional Rajputi poshak. Talking about her recent visit to Jaipur, Khanzaadi also revealed that she indulged in local delicacies like gatte ki sabzi and laal maas.
The former Bigg Boss contestant told Times Of India, 'I tried living the life of a Rajasthani for a day, and it was quite fun. It was my first trip to Jaipur, and I've been wondering why I never came here before. This is such a beautiful city to explore."
Before visiting the city, Khanzaadi had a completely different image of the city in her mind. She said, 'Socha tha, yahan registaan hoga, banjaare honge aur dekhne ko kuch khaas nahi hoga, but it's such a beautiful place. It truly represents India, with so much history and culture to offer."
Since it was a work-related trip and the rapper could not explore as much as she wanted to, she wants to return to the city soon. Her wishlist? A camel ride and much-hyped dal-baati churma.
Khanzaadi started making waves with MTV Hustle and later shot to fame with her appearance in Bigg Boss Season 17. Reflecting on her journey, she said, 'When I entered MTV Hustle, I was a rapper but had no idea about my potential as a singer and performer. Thanks to judges like Badshah and King Rocco, who motivated me to hone my skills."
As for Bigg Boss, she added that the reality show gave her exposure like never before. 'I entered with just 2,000 followers and came out with over a million. I didn't realise how big my fan base had become until after the show." Khanzaadi added.
Although the show has ended, the strong bonds she formed in the Bigg Boss house are still intact. Her friendship with Ankita Lokhande and Abhishek has lasted beyond the show and they are often seen celebrating birthdays and special occasions together. Talking about her bond with them, the rapper noted that she shares a warm bond with Karan Veer Mehra, Ankita and Abhishek and they even celebrated her birthday together recently.

Ahaan Panday's Shot In Saiyaara Had The Crew Clapping, Says Co-Star: 'He Was Nervous But…'

Last Updated: Rajesh Kumar praises newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's dedication, sharing on-set moments and what makes Saiyaara click. Rajesh Kumar, known for playing Roshesh in Sarabhai vs Sarabhai, had a front‑row seat to the rise of newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda as Saiyaara stormed the box office. Within just five days, the Mohit Suri directorial pulled in over Rs 132 crore in India, including Rs 24 crore on Monday and Rs 25 crore on Tuesday. It even overshadowed some big-budget films by Akshay, Salman and Aamir Khan — a rare feat for a star-kid‑led project, especially when audiences usually criticise nepotism. Rajesh revealed what impressed him off-camera. 'I told both Aneet and Ahaan that make me meet your parents. I just went and thanked them for bringing them up so well and that is what is reflecting on screen. They are not corrupted. Having said that, there is a long way for them to go." He remembered Ahaan's early nerves. Their first scene together was simple — Ahaan handing him a bag — yet Rajesh saw talent shine through. 'Ahaan was so nervous before his first shot. We shot that together. […] But, he did it so well in just the third take. After the shot ended, people clapped for him and then he felt relaxed," he recalled. Behind the scenes, Rajesh thinks it is Mohit Suri's vision and the young cast's belief sealed the deal. 'Mohit would wait until he got the shot he had visualised. Everytime, we took a shot for over four times, Ahaan would walk forward and apologise. He didn't have a 'give up' attitude. This film was all about trust. This film was all about YRF believing in Mohit Suri. And Mohit Suri believes in this new couple and the supporting cast. We never thought it would be a blockbuster." Rajesh's also opened up on his favourite moment from the film. It is Ahaan's entrance into the concert shot. 'My most favourite scene is when Ahaan walks into the concert. I was fida on it. The shot was crazy." He called it a turning point — both in the film and for the performers growing before his eyes.
