Akshay Kumar has recently spoken about his Bengali connection when he recalled memories of living in Kolkata and working with
Pramod Chakravorty in his initial Bollywood days. The fit-as-a-fiddle actor also loves Bengali food. One of the most favourite dishes from
Bengali cuisine
is Sorshe Ilish, a fragrant preparation of the hilsa fish in mustard curry. In a candid conversation Akshay revealed, “I love the fish that Bengalis make with mustard. I like it so much that, during the shoot of ‘
Gold
’ I had requested
Mouni Roy to get that for me. Mouni’s mom cooked up a delicious amount of fish for me. Eating the hilsa fish with that mustard seasoning and flavour is just out of this world. It’s an experience that I could die for.”
Apparently, despite being one of the fittest actors in Bollywood, Akshay Kumar is a foodie too. He loves to binge on his favourites like chhole bhature, chicken and even kadhi chawal. He says, “I love to eat. In fact, I love to binge too. I eat everything from ghar ka khana to pizza to chhole. But I eat on time. I go to bed early, so I make sure I have dinner latest by 6.30 or 7 pm. That’s what keeps me fit.” Now that’s an insider secret alright.
