Exclusive: Badhaai Do actor Bhumi Pednekar's daily diet during shoot in Dehradun

For Abhishek Goel, owner L P Vilas, Dehradun, and his team, it was a proud moment when Badhaai Do crew starring Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar confirmed their stay at the hotel for the 30-day schedule of the film. As per the brief, both the stars needed extra attention in terms of food and daily diet and that’s why Ashish Kumar Srivastava, Director of Production, LP Vilas, took charge of their taste and preferences and made sure that the team served the best. As per Ashish, serving the stars was a proud moment and talking about Bhumi he says, “Her humbleness and friendly behaviour makes her a special human. I was surprised to see her zero-waste food policy and even mentioned my team to take inspiration from her.” In an exclusive conversation with Times Food, Ashish talks about Bhumi Pednekar’s love for Indian food, no sugar diet , and how she used to gel up with staff in the restaurant and used to visit them quite often during her 30-day stay.

After the briefing by Bhumi’s team, Ashish and his team had sourced gluten-free bajra, ragi, and jowar flour, which were used in a specific ratio to make gluten-free bread that she used to eat in morning breakfast along with preservative-free and sugar-free berries jam made by chef Ashish. He adds, “At LP Vilas, we have been making our own jam and that has been quite a hit among the guests.” (Image: istock)
