Kangana Ranaut Opens Her Dream Café 'The Mountain Story' In The Himalayas

Get ready to sip your chai with a side of breathtaking mountain views because Kangana Ranaut’s long-time dream is finally a reality! That’s right, the queen of Bollywood controversies and powerhouse performances has now turned restaurateur, and we are here for it! Welcome to The Mountain Story, her very own slice of culinary heaven, nestled right in the lap of the majestic Himalayas.

This isn’t just another celebrity vanity project. Nope, Kangana’s new café is a full-blown passion project, infused with nostalgia, culture, and a whole lot of love. If you’ve ever dreamed of dining amidst the clouds with snow-covered peaks as your backdrop, then consider your wish granted. Because let’s be honest—if anyone was going to give us a café with dramatic flair, it had to be Kangana!

A café with a view and a story!

Imagine this: You’re sitting on a rustic wooden chair, sipping on piping-hot Himachali chai, while the crisp mountain air plays with your hair. Sounds dreamy, right? That’s exactly the vibe Kangana’s going for with The Mountain Story.

This isn’t just another pretty café—it’s personal. According to Kangana, the idea for this eatery was born from her childhood memories and, more specifically, the flavours of her mother’s cooking. And when Kangana does something, she does it with full grandeur! From acting and producing to directing and politics, she now adds ‘entrepreneur’ to her ever-expanding resume. Is there anything she can’t do? (Spoiler: Probably not.)

To give fans a sneak peek, Kangana shared a video tour of the café on Instagram, and let’s just say—it looks straight out of a postcard. Picture this: cosy wooden interiors, a roaring fireplace, warm yellow lights, and staff in traditional Himachali caps greeting you with the biggest smiles. It’s giving ‘warm hug in a snowstorm’ energy, and honestly, we’re packing our bags already!

And let’s talk about the food because, oh boy, chef’s kiss! The video also teased glimpses of mouth-watering Himachali fare, featuring an assortment of authentic, home-style dishes. And don’t even get us started on the outdoor seating—imagine enjoying a hot plate of Siddu (a Himachali delicacy) while soaking in those surreal mountain views. A literal dream!

Mark your calendars—it’s opening on Valentine’s Day!

Kangana clearly knows how to make a statement. Instead of just any random day, The Mountain Story is set to open its doors on February 14th—because what’s more romantic than a cozy mountain café? Valentine’s Day just got an upgrade, and honestly, even if you’re single, this place might be the real love of your life.

Sharing the big news on Instagram, Kangana wrote, “A childhood dream comes alive—my little café in the lap of the Himalayas. The Mountain Story—it’s a love story. #TheMountainStory Opening 14th February ❄️👩‍🍳💝.”

We love a poetic queen! And speaking of nostalgia, Kangana also dug up an old interview clip where she first spoke about her café dream. Fun fact: Deepika Padukone was right there, enthusiastically promising to be her first customer. Always one to stir the pot (pun intended), Kangana cheekily tagged Deepika in the post to remind her of that little promise. Now, will Deepika actually show up for a Himachali feast? We’re grabbing the popcorn to find out!

Bollywood’s love affair with food is neverending

Kangana may be the latest Bollywood star to dive into the restaurant biz, but she’s definitely not the first. In fact, the celebrity backed restaurant scene is thriving! Malaika Arora has her Scarlett House, Karan Johar is serving up style with Nuema, Shilpa Shetty Kundra is behind Bastian, Hrithik Roshan has a trendy café in Lower Parel, and Gauri Khan is the brains behind Tori. Seems like Bollywood’s biggest stars are not just feasting on scripts but on actual food businesses too. We love to see it!

More than just a business—it’s Kangana’s soul connection

While there are plenty of eateries in the region, this venture stands out because, for Kangana, this café is more than just a business venture. It’s a deep, spiritual connection to her homeland. She’s often spoken about her love for the mountains, and her Instagram is filled with poetic musings about the Himalayas. One of her recent posts read, “The mountains are calling, and I must answer. The mountains are my bones, the rivers my veins, the forests my thoughts, and the stars my dreams. A mountaintop is where life finds its purest meaning of freedom.”

Can’t argue with that—it does sound like a fairytale!

What’s next for Kangana?

While she’s busy setting up shop in the Himalayas, Kangana hasn’t left her Bollywood career behind. She was last seen in Emergency, though it didn’t quite make waves at the box office. But if you thought she was slowing down, think again. She’s already working on a new project with her Tanu Weds Manu co-star, R. Madhavan, and there are whispers of possible sequels for Queen and Tanu Weds Manu!

Between making movies, stirring up Twitter drama, diving into politics, and now running a café, Kangana is truly living her best, most chaotic, most fabulous life. And we’re just here, watching it all unfold like the best reality show we never asked for but totally love.

Wondering if you should visit?

If you love food, mountains, or just a good old celebrity passion project, The Mountain Story is definitely worth a visit. Whether you’re making a special Valentine’s Day trip or planning a cozy getaway later, this café promises an experience that’s equal parts delicious and picturesque. And who knows, you might even spot Kangana herself, running the show with her signature flair!

One thing’s for sure—this mountain queen is serving up way more than just drama these days. And we are so here for it!
