“Delhi Is My Home”

Returning to SRCC After Years
Recalling her recent visit to SRCC, Nimrat described the experience as both familiar and transformed.
She noted that while much has changed on campus over the years, the essence of the place remains the same, making it a nostalgic experience.
Walking through familiar spaces, she found herself searching for old hangout spots where she once spent time with friends.
Memories of Maggi, Samosas and College Life
Nimrat fondly remembered her college days, including informal hangout spots where students would gather for quick bites and conversations.
She recalled enjoying Maggi and samosas with friends and revisiting places tied to her everyday student life.
The actor also shared humorous memories of campus traditions and the light-hearted experiences that shaped her college years.
Irfan Chacha’s Tapri and the “Wisdom Tree”
Among her most vivid memories was a small tea stall near the football field, popularly referred to by students as Irfan Chacha’s tapri, where she often had coffee.
She also mentioned the famous campus landmark known as the “Wisdom Tree,” joking that despite hoping for wisdom, it never quite “fell from the tree.”
A Nostalgic Connection That Remains Strong
Nimrat’s reflections highlight her lasting emotional bond with Delhi University and SRCC, a place she continues to associate with growth, friendships, and formative experiences.
Even after years in the film industry, she said returning to campus brings back a sense of familiarity that remains unchanged at its core.
