Gaurav Sharma is in love with the City of Joy

Actor Gaurav Sharma of

Diya Aur Baati Hum

fame, who recently flew back to Mumbai from Kolkata after three days of gruelling shooting, is totally in love with the City of Joy. Gaurav told us before leaving, "I am playing the role of a footballer for a show. We shot in the outskirts of Kolkata. And then I was also nursing my injury post shooting. Whenever I got time, I used to gorge on Bengali sweets and the famous

Bengal

ka phuchka. The food is out of this world. I could not venture and explore the city much, but managed to visit the Victoria Memorial. We also shot in

Chandannagar

. Next time when I will visit Kolkata, I will have a better plan in my mind.”

Gaurav was also amazed to find out that Kolkata has some of the greatest football clubs in Asia. He adds, "Football and Bengal go hand in hand. You can never detach the rich history of football in Bengal. I have never played football in my life as I have been a basketball player. But I am loving it.”
