A mid-night binge is a craving that everyone fights from time to time, including celebrities, who have to focus primarily on fitness as part of their job. The allure of sneaking out of bed to dig in to a bowl of ice cream or a slice of pizza however, is so intense that, it gets the better of all of us. No one knows this better than Arjun Kapoor, the self confessed foodie of B-town. Arjun has been sharing tempting photos of his mid-night binges to his social media. From healthy bites like chicken avocado toast to sinful desserts, Arjun’s chef and friend Akshay Arora, has been pampering the star with delectable delicacies. Recently, Arjun shared a photo of a chocolate fudge brownie to his Instagram story and captioned it ‘Oh Fudge.’ The gooey and soft brownie had nut shavings on top. Arjun was enjoying the brownie while watching a movie.

Arjun has never shied away from indulging in a grand meal, and his social media feed is a proof of that. Even on promotions of certain movies that he has featured in (like 2 States), Arjun can often be spotted in-between the promotions, grabbing a bite.
