Ranbir Kapoor and his ‘mishti’ connection with Bengal goes long back

Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor is someone who will never ever sacrifice food above and beyond a point. The celebrated actor was recently in Kolkata to promote his upcoming film 'Tu Jhoothi Main Makkkaar' and such a foodie he is, Ranbir admitted that he’s a huge fan of mishit doi. He even aloo posto, puri and shorshe maachch for lunch – a typical Bengali meal every Kolkatan loves.While speaking to the media, Ranbir revealed,“I’m a big mishti doi lover. Toh main char balti mishti doi kha ke aya hoon.”
Interestingly, the actor’s connection with Kolkata goes long back. Apart from film promotions, he even shot for a considerable portion of ‘Barfi’ in Kolkata and has so many sweet memories attached to the City of Joy.
“I love the people, the food, the winter weather in Kolkata. I am a huge mishti doi fan and love rosogollas. This city is so rich in its culture, heritage and literature. It is nice to come to a city with its original identity still intact,” he had said in an earlier interview.

Even Ranbir’s ‘Besharam’ co-star Pallavi Sharda once said that during the shooting of the film she caught Ranbir trying to smuggle mishti doi from the Bengali restaurant they had gone to for lunch. So you can imagine the Bollywood star is indeed a sweet tooth!
Interestingly, Ranbir’s favourite indulgences are Jungli Mutton, Butter Chicken, Paya and of course Mishti Doi. He is more fond of lamb and mutton than chicken. In one of his interviews the actor had once confessed how his family who hails from Peshawar is as serious about their food as they are about their films.
