Sohum Shah receives handmade goddess statue from Tumbbad fan; says Ab batao, iss murti mein kya khaas chupa

Sohum Shah recently received a special gift from a fan inspired by the world of Tumbbad. The actor-producer shared a video of a handmade statue of the Goddess featured in the folklore fantasy, while also leaving fans with a question about a special detail hidden within the creation. Tumbbad, which developed a cult following after its original theatrical release, found a renewed audience following its 2024 re-release. The films return to cinemas brought it back into the spotlight, with the renewed interest also contributing to anticipation around its sequel, Tumbbad 2. Amid the interest surrounding the next chapter of the franchise, a fan gifted Sohum a handcrafted statue of the Goddess from Tumbbad. The character holds significance within the films folklore-driven narrative, making the personalised gesture particularly notable for the actor. Sohum subsequently took to social media to share a video featuring the handmade statue. Rather than simply showcasing the gift, however, the actor turned the moment into a guessing game for his followers. He asked fans to identify a special detail that he claimed was hidden in the statue. Sharing the video, he wrote, Aapne #Tumbbad ko pyaar diya, return gift toh banta hai. Ab batao, iss murti Mein kya khaas chupa.
