Shah Rukh Khan keeps his promise to Shilpa Shetty, hires her V8 gourmet chain to supply food to the RA.One unit

Shah Rukh Khan believes in keeping his friends happy. While Arjun Rampal's proximity to SRK got him an important part in RA.One, wife Mehr Jesia bagged the IPL parties contract. Now it's Shilpa Shetty's turn to benefit from SRK's benevolence.

During a past conversation, Khan had enquired about her V8 gourmet chain of restaurants (which she co-owns with husband Raj Kundra), and promised La Shetty that when he shot for his home production in UK, he would get her company to supply food to the RA.One unit. He kept the promise.

Daily delivery
The food served to the unit was delivered to the set everyday from V8's gourmet chain of restaurants in London.

A source says, "An elaborate menu was served to the unit everyday (including the chicken curry that Shilpa made famous during her stay in Big Brother's house in London).

Andy Varma, Director of Food and Business Development for the food chain, specifically asked Shilpa about Shah Rukh and Kareena's food habits and created special menus for the stars.

While Kareena had special vegetarian food, SRK would gorge on chicken tikka (his favourite)."

A source close to the actress maintains, "Shilpa never spoke to Shah Rukh. Karim Morani got in touch with Shilpa's husband Raj and finalised the deal. Even though the company specialises in Indian food, they also provided Continental food for the foreign unit.

This is the first time they provided delicacies on such a large scale and for such a long period of time. Earlier, it was restricted to parties and weddings, but now they want to branch out to films being shot abroad too."

Shilpa Shetty acted in her first film Baazigaar opposite Shah Rukh Khan.
