After tasting Hyderabadi Haleem, people find it impossible to forget. There is no better haleem in the world than Hyderabad’s. I have a unique bond with this city. I am Hyderabad’s son-in-law. I’m not sure how many of you are aware. Hyderabad is home to my wife’s folks. Saudi Arabia is where they made their home. Thus, my relationship with Hyderabad is positive. 2014 saw me play with Sunrisers Hyderabad. Haleem in Hyderabad—how can I forget him? The world’s best haleem is found in Hyderabad.
