Last time upma raked up a controversy was when Tamil actor Parthiepan took his love for the dish one step ahead – wanting it to be the “national dish”. The savoury South Indian breakfast is back, causing more havoc in people’s lives.
An innocuous tweet with a picture by veteran actress Shabana Azmi led to a flurry of theories and debates. The question being – is that poha or upma?

Some even channeled their inner-Arvind Kerjriwal and blamed PM Modi.

Azmi, however, put all doubts to rest when she revealed to the world that the picture was, in fact, poha!
The responses are hilarioys. Havent stopped laughing.. ofcourse its poha .. upma slipped out but has led to much entertainment! https://t.co/STHAfQJqjd
