Bollywood�s Tastebuds

No king-sized asparagus, giant-size spoonfuls of caviar or other ambrosia for our tinsel-ville celebrities. Nor is Dom Perignon a must to wet their throats.

TANUJ GARG zeroed in on their food habits and saw that most of them are habituated to routine ghar ki roti... except when they�re really hell-bent on pampering their tastebuds.


SHAH RUKH KHAN
I enjoy food, but don�t believe in a particular course of eating or diet or cuisine. I have lots of Pepsi and can binge on tandoori chicken and noodles. I�ve never concentrated on health food for the simple reason that I�m healthy and in shape.

JUHI CHAWLA
I believe in eating well. I�m not fussy about food as long as it�s edible and well-cooked. I like traditional full meals... dal, rotis, sabzi and rice with lots of salads and dahi. I�m a complete veggie and an ice-cream freak. When there�s no time to grab a bite, I have an ice-cream!

AAMIR KHAN
I relish Indian food more than any other cuisine. I can cook... omelettes, fried eggs, scrambled eggs! I eat production unit food, but must have dinner at home. It could be veg or non-veg. Chicken, fish, aloo, gobi, baingan, paneer.

TWINKLE KHANNA
I�m extremely health conscious. I have a very light breakfast, eggs and black coffee. No juices, though fruits are fine. I must have at least one dal-roti meal daily. Otherwise, I eat chicken and fish sandwiches and salads with a generous amount of paneer or mushroom toppings.

GOVINDA
I�m passionate about food, can try out everything, but love shudh paushik ghar ka khana. Dal, chawal, aloo, bhindi. I have a sweet tooth for Indian mithai.

PREITY ZINTA
My ideal meal is kadhi chawal. But I also love Italian and Chinese food. I am the best pasta cook in the world! My preferred food joints are Konkan Cafe for its mouth-watering appams and Shiv Sagar for its pav bhaji. But there�s also Indigo and Trim With Taste. I don�t diet since I�m very regular with my work-outs.

MANOJ BAJPAI
I eat to live. Food is low on my priority list. All my life I�ve had a frugal and simple diet. The conventional dal, roti, sabzi and chaval. I�d never tasted any kind of cuisine beyond that. But now I�ve been exposed to all kinds of foods, though my favourite is still desi khana.

MAMTA KULKARNI
I can eat seafood any time of the day, spicy and full of masalas. My breakfasts are porridge or cornflakes with two slices of toast. I have chicken, fish or any other vegetable for lunch. And a very heavy dinner.

RINKE KHANNA
Can you believe, I am fond of digestive biscuits! I take great care of myself. At home, all my meals are cooked in low-fat mineral oil. Now and then, I pamper myself with rich, oily food. But tea, coffee, sodas and colas are out. I can live on salads and soups for the rest of my life.

SUNNY DEOL
I lead a healthy life. Spicy and oily foods are not my taste at all. My food is more or less bland, and I prefer vegetarian food. I might eat chicken once in a blue moon. I neither drink nor smoke and I avoid soft drinks too. My ultimate food is simple ghar ka khana. A bowl of salad, two vegetables and dal. Sweets, I love!

BOBBY DEOL
Although I like ghar ka khana, I�m quite a connoisseur of food. I love experimenting with new cuisines and restaurants. At home, I can cherish dal and rice. And I can pig out on sweets for the rest of my life. Jalebis, gulab-jamuns, ras-malai and ice-cream!

MAHIMA CHAUDHARY
I freak out over authentic Punjabi cuisine... sarson ka saag and makkai ki roti. I dote on junk food. Burgers and fast food joints are my hangouts. I am a vegetarian, but I eat eggs. I love yellow dals and karela, but I�m fussy about eating bhindi, baingan and black dal.

AKSHAY KUMAR
My breakfast is Bournvita and eggs! For lunch, I have boiled leafy vegetables with plain rotis. I eat a lot of fruits. My dinner is a light Punjabi meal with generous helpings of salads, sprouts and curds. Having worked as a cook in Bangkok, I have eaten every possible food.

JACKIE SHROFF
I am a veggie at home. I love potatoes, fruit, curd, walnuts and peanuts. No meat. Outside, my diet is fish and desi chicken. I am a religious water drinker. Six glasses as soon as I wake up. No drinks at home, at parties - yes. I love Thai green curry and rice. I can cook myself... dal, pastas, brinjals and potatoes. In between meals, I eat vada pav, though it is very oily.

SUMAN RANGANATHAN
I am flexible about eating. But must have two glasses of juice and a bowl of fresh fuit every day. I am a health freak and work out religiously. I relish seafood and sweets and have them at every opportunity.

SHILPA SHETTY
I freak out on mangoes, but don�t go overboard with my food. I have been blessed with a good body but I never take it for granted. I love cooking them, especially pastas and anything that�s simple and easy. I can live on Italian and Chinese food.

ANIL KAPOOR
No matter where I�m shooting, I have home-cooked food on the sets. Lunch and dinner is generally light, vegetarian food - dal, rotis, vegetables and rice. Sometimes I like to have Continental baked dishes too. No sweets. I also love Gujarati thalis. They are simply great.

ARBAAZ KHAN
My meals at home are dahi and rotis. I eat out once in a while, provided it�s Indian food. I love dal-chawal and can live on it.

RAVEENA TANDON
I love binging on soup, popcorn, grapefruit, melon and papaya. My lunch is a wholesome, simple Indian meal. Outdoors, I adjust myself to the unit food. Oily food is strictly out. I am not fussy about eating fruits and salads. But I drink loads of tea!

SUNIL SHETTY
I breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dine like a pauper. Although I love experimenting with various exotic cuisines, my favourites are Thai and Indian foods. At home, my staple ghar ka khana is dal, roti, rice and fish. I drink a lot of warm water and am a health freak.
