Who are celebrities when they are not faced by a camera? Who are they like while not in the shoes of a character, and what do their meals look like? But most importantly, if there’s something that makes them just like you, it is simply a dish they cannot resist. Celebrity Eats is a Slurrp special series where stars express their foodie versions. From their most memorable childhood memories to their go-to cheat meals, you can get the inside scoop on your favourite celebrity.
What are some of your all-time favourite foods?
I love Dal Chawal, and even good Khichdi would be great. After a long day of work like here at Blenders Pride Fashion Tour, I would love to have these.
What is your favourite cheat meal?
I love potato chips.
What’s your fondest childhood memory of food?
Kadhi Chawal was something we enjoyed every week in our house. It was our typical Sunday comfort food.
While on shoots and events like the Blenders Pride Fashion Tour, what are some snacks you love to munch?
I really enjoy munching on dates sometimes because they're healthy and they also give you good fibre. They taste really good and if you need a sweet fix, a date could be really good instead of a chocolate.
Are you a tea person or a coffee person?
I love both tea and coffee. Coffee is like water for me – very essential. It helps me wake up, but I like cutting chai, too. There is something unique and special about it.
What is your go-to dessert?
Recently, I've developed a liking for tiramisu. So, if I go to a place, I normally try tiramisu there.
Do you cook often? What are some of your favourite recipes?
I don’t know how to cook, but my goal for 2025 is to learn how to cook. I cooked during the lockdown and enjoyed it, but I just got a little bamboozled. But I hope I can prepare something for myself. I would enjoy that.
I'm a total sucker for chaat! So, there was this one time when I was on a diet and couldn't have the regular chaat, so I got creative and made a sweet potato chaat—which, by the way, is up on my Instagram if anyone wants the recipe! I used sweet potato tikkis as the base, added the usual chutneys, and because chaat needs that perfect crunch, I topped it off with chana jor garam—pounded chana—for that extra texture. Think of it like batata puri, but with sweet potato.
Where did you grow up? Which dishes from those cities would you recommend to everyone?
I was born and brought up in Mumbai, and one thing I absolutely love is A1 ka samosa. It used to come to my school, Manji, and it's something I highly recommend trying. It's the same classic samosa that's been served in theatres for years now.
Of course, when you're in Mumbai, Sev Puri is everywhere—from small stalls to vendor carts, you can grab a plate just about anywhere. I love the whole street food vibe, and no matter where I’m headed, I almost always make a quick stop for Sev Puri or Bhel Puri.
