Wandering through the lanes of Al Seef, Virat and Anushka soak in its heritage, traditions, and charm that lies at the heart of Old Dubai, underscoring the city’s cultural depth. Their fun exchange at the aromatic spice stalls leads to a nostalgic moment when Anushka surprises Virat with chole bhature, evoking the cherished flavours from Delhi.
