For enthusiasts of the traditional Indian paan, a new luxury offering in Mumbai is turning heads with its extravagant price tag. ‘The Paan Story,’ a unique establishment in Mahim, has introduced a paan priced at a staggering Rs 1 lakh, redefining the humble treat as a symbol of opulence.
The brainchild behind this lavish creation is Naushad Sheikh, an MBA graduate who turned down lucrative corporate opportunities to continue his family’s legacy. His shop, ‘The Paan Story,’ takes the traditional ‘Gaddi Ka Paan’ and elevates it into a luxurious experience that blends heritage with high-end indulgence.
Dubbed the ‘Fragrance of Love,’ this premium paan is wrapped in gold foil, a key element that justifies its hefty price. It has become particularly popular among newlywed couples, who often seek it out for their wedding night to enhance the celebratory atmosphere.
The ‘Fragrance of Love’ is not just a treat; it’s an experience. Packaged in two exquisitely designed boxes named ‘Prince’ and ‘Princess,’ the paan is infused with rich perfumes and saffron, adding to its allure. As an added touch of grandeur, each purchase comes with a marble replica of the Taj Mahal, making the experience even more memorable.
Located in the heart of Mahim, ‘The Paan Story’ is fast becoming a destination for those who appreciate the finer things in life, offering a blend of luxury and tradition that is truly unparalleled.
