Tea isn’t just a drink — it’s an emotion, especially in India. On International Tea Day, celebs from all walks of life shared how a humble cup of chai adds warmth to their daily grind.
Actor Divya Dutta starts her day with classic desi chai, packed with milk, cardamom, and ginger. She fondly remembers early morning tea with her mom and evening rusks with her masi.
Alexx O’Nell may be a coffee guy, but he turns to green tea for a gentler kick. His tea tales stretch across the monsoons of Mumbai to peaceful moments in Munnar’s plantations.
Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi keeps it rooted in Punjabi culture. From chamomile to his own bold blend of turmeric and cumin, tea is a nostalgic trip back to his nani’s house.
Actor Romiit Raaj swears by his special family recipe with lemongrass and cardamom. For him, tea is sunshine-filled mornings in Kolkata with his brother and mom.
Some stars love their tea herbal and light, like Vipin Sharma and Krishna Bharadwaj. Others like Moon Banerrjee and Worship Khanna live for their kadak, no-nonsense cup — one even needing it to start the day in silence.
From quiet shoots to college drives, every cup tells a story. For celebs like Sagar Parekh, chai isn’t just a sip — it’s a steady companion, always ready with comfort and calm.
