Mango season is in full swing, with a number of varieties thronging the markets all over the country.

Mira Kapoor is clearly in a mango mood if her Instagram stories are anything to go by. She shared an infographic about Indian mango varieties by state, which featured a number of mangoes such as Alphonso, Totapuri, Dasheri, Himsagar, Kesar and more. However, Mira Kapoor had a pertinent question to pose while sharing the graphic. Mira Kapoor asked, "Where's my Safeda?"

"The eternal question of the season... Amrita doesn't believe that Safeda is a mango," wrote Mira Kapoor. The options for the poll were 'Safeda is legit,' and 'Fake Mango'. About 70% of people chose the former option. Take a look:
