Apli Marathi: Suhas Awchat sent us this picture of him with his wife Deepa, dressed in Peshwa outfits to proclaim their love for Maharashtra and its people. MiD DAY had reported the story on September 24

We at Goa Portuguesa and Culture Curry have been giving a discount to Maharastrians since the past seven years and at Diva Maharashtracha since the last two years.

It was a promotional plan to generate more revenue without troubling our customers.

This discount is extended to any person irrespective of caste, creed or religion living in Maharashtra and can speak Marathi. By giving a 50 per cent discount, we wanted to educate our customers about the unique cuisines that Maharashtra offers.

If in the process of offering discounts to any section of our patrons, we have hurt the sentiments of any individual across Maharashtra, we find no hesitation in expressing our deep regrets and would like to communicate that it was purely unintentional.

Diva Maharashtracha is open for everyone of any cast, creed and religion all round the year.
