At the Waves Summit 2025, a heartwarming and culturally rich moment unfolded when Bollywood star Shraddha Kapoor offered a traditional Maharashtrian sweet, Puran Poli, to Instagram CEO and Head of Meta, Adam Mosseri. The gesture quickly went viral and won hearts across the internet.

Standing confidently on stage, Shraddha charmed the audience and Adam with her candid warmth. Holding a plate in her hand, she said with a smile,

“You’ve been eating at fancy places but I want you to try this Maharashtrian dessert which is called Puran Poli and it’s made at my home.”

The sweet, made of jaggery and lentils, is a staple delicacy in many Maharashtrian households.

What made the moment even more special was the fact that it was home-cooked, adding a personal and emotional touch to the event.

As Adam Mosseri graciously accepted the Puran Poli and took a bite, the crowd erupted in cheers and applause, celebrating not just the celebrity presence but the merging of global tech and Indian tradition.

Adam appeared pleasantly surprised by the sweet’s rich flavor and nodded appreciatively. It was a rare and delightful crossover of culture, where a top global tech leader got a taste—quite literally—of India’s warmth and hospitality through food.

Social media lit up with reactions, with fans calling it a “wholesome” and “unexpected” highlight of the summit. Pinkvilla captioned their reel, “The CEO of Instagram @mosseri eating Puran Poli with @shraddhakapoor wasn’t on our 2025 bingo list!” — a sentiment that summed up the surprise and delight of the moment.

At a time when brand integrations and global conversations dominate such events, Shraddha’s gesture stood out as refreshingly authentic. It reminded everyone that sometimes, all it takes is a simple homemade sweet to bridge worlds.
