Sony SAB continues to keep things light, relatable, and refreshing—not just on-screen but off-screen too! As the temperatures rise, your favourite artists from across Sony SAB shows are serving up their coolest cravings and go-to summer treats. From childhood favourites to nostalgic homemade delights, actors like Krishna Bharadwaj, Sayli Salunkhe, Bharti Achrekar, and little Aan Tiwari are dishing out their favourite summertime foods—and their stories behind them are as heartwarming as they are delicious!

Bharati Achrekar, who essays the role of Radhika Wagle in Wagle Ki Duniya- Nayi Peedhi Naye Kissey, said, "Summer, to me, is a season full of flavour and memories. Growing up, we didn’t have fancy coolers or cold drinks, but we had our traditional favourites—chaas, kokum sherbet, and homemade mango pickles. Even today, I stick to those roots. My fridge is always stocked with buttermilk, and every evening I enjoy a bowl of Alphonso mangoes. There’s a certain joy in sitting back after a long day, relishing the sweetness of a mango slice—it’s simple, comforting, and timeless."

Krishna Bharadwaj, who essays the role of Tenali in Tenali Rama, said, "Summers instantly take me back to my childhood days in Ranchi, where every afternoon meant a glass of chilled aam panna made by my mother. That tangy, spicy flavour still holds a nostalgic place in my heart. Even today, no matter how hectic my shoot schedule is, I try to keep a bowl of fresh watermelon or a glass of aam panna handy. It cools the body and mind! I play Tenali Rama a witty, historical character on-screen, but off-camera, mangoes and summer fruits bring out the child in me!"

Aan Tiwari, who essays the role of young Hanuman in Veer Hanuman, said, "I love ice cream! My favourite flavour is chocolate chip, and I ask for it every day after lunch—when it's really hot or I’ve just come back from school. Sometimes, my mom says I can’t have it every day, but then I give her my puppy face… and she says okay! I also like watermelon—it's sweet and juicy and fun to eat after playing outside. And cold mango juice—it's yummm! Summer is fun because there are holidays, no school, and lots of tasty things!"

Sayli Salunkhe, who essays the role of Anjani Maata in Veer Hanuman, said, "For me, summer is all about indulgence—and yes, that includes street food! I absolutely love pani puri, especially when it’s extra spicy and cold. And once the heat kicks in, I balance it out with my all-time favourite: kulfi. There’s something about holding that matka kulfi on a hot afternoon—it’s like an instant mood lifter. While I try to eat healthy most of the year, summer is when I allow myself these little joys. What’s life without a little chaat and chill, right?"
