Imagine a typical Bollywood film scene: the mother is busy cooking the favourite dish of her son, who is coming home after four years. The time frame is unimportant since even if the son was coming home after four hours the mother would still be cooking his favourite dish. These reel lip-smackers include kheer, gajar ka halwa, ladoo, garam jalebees, and even baigan ka bharta. Baigan ka bharta, by the way is Amitabh Bachchan`s favourite reel dish. In films like Aalap and Abhimaan, among others, he has shown a marked preference for the dish.
But the reality is totally different. Stars have to eat food without oil, low on salt, fat free, and with less masala. Here`s presenting the favourite menu of many stars.Salman Khan likes everything boneless, and that means non-veg.Shah Rukh Khan also swears by Tandoori Chicken. Amisha Patel likes Upma and toast in the mornings.Devdas director, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, loves prawns and chicken.Akshay Kumar, the Khiladi, likes moong, green peas, chicken tikka, aloo-jeera and plain rice, whereas wifey Twinkle likes roast chicken but with less oil.Amitabh Bachchan has turned vegetarian and likes kali daal and tandoori roti.Aishwarya Rai likes pomfret with rice.
