DIMAPUR: In a delightful exchange of cultural gestures, Nagaland's Tourism and Higher Education Minister, Temjen Imna Along, showcased his wit by presenting a unique gift to Bollywood actor Deepika Padukone's parents, Prakash Padukone and Ujjala Padukone. Known for his humorous social media posts, Minister Along recently met the legendary badminton player and his wife, seizing the opportunity to extend a locally sourced organic pumpkin as a token of appreciation.

The caption continued, "Just handed over an organic delight to Deepika’s parents — kyuki kahin na kahin Mastani bhi maan jati Nagaland ki shaandar sabiziyon ki khasiyat ko (because Mastani would also agree to Nagaland’s wonderful vegetables)."
This light-hearted gesture not only reflects the minister's sense of humor but also showcases the rich agricultural produce of Nagaland. By choosing a locally sourced organic pumpkin, Minister Along not only shared a piece of his region's bounty but also cleverly linked it to a beloved Bollywood character.
