A Maharashtrian grandmother is winning hearts on social media for her enjoyment of sushi at home in her own way. She was featured in a clip shared by her granddaughter, Instagram user @samruddhi_khavle. The video has since gone viral and received a lot of interest online. The reel shows the grandma relishing portions of sushi that have been kept on a metal thali. She dips the treat in a katori (small metal bowl) filled with soy sauce before eating it. She (and possibly other people around her) are being encouraged to try the dish.

In the background, someone can be heard saying (in Marathi), "My mouth is not that big enough." This is probably in reference to the practice of eating sushi pieces whole. The grandmother seen in the video also savours it in smaller bites. The caption notes that she ended up loving the delicacy. "When you make sushi but in a Maharashtrian house," reads the text on the video.
