It appears that Gigi's taste buds have been forever transformed by the vibrant flavours of Indian cuisine.

Gigi also gave her Instagram followers a mesmerising glimpse of her Indian trip, sharing a series of captivating pictures chronicling her day out in the city of dreams, Mumbai. Among the visual delights was a snapshot of her indulging in coconut water, the quintessential Indian thirst-quencher.

In the caption of the post, the supermodel poured her heart out as she expressed her deepest gratitude to the Ambani family for their gracious hospitality during her visit to Mumbai for the NMACC launch event and urged people not to miss visiting the cultural centre. She wrote, "Warmest thanks to the Ambani family for hosting me in Mumbai for the Opening Weekend of NMACC. It was an honour to be there to witness your family's vision come to life, in a beautiful world-class Cultural Center to celebrate and cultivate the creativity and heritage of India. If you have the chance to visit and see these productions - I HIGHLY recommend! Unforgettable first trip to India. Much love."

Gigi Hadid's love affair with Indian cuisine is not a fleeting fling but a passion that has endured over time with her cooking skills. Even during her pregnancy, the model could not resist the tantalising spices of Indian cuisine. Her cravings were satiated with a sprinkle of spices like cumin seeds (jeera), turmeric powder (haldi), and an array of aromatic masalas like garam masala and tandoori masala in her food.
