Aparshakti Khurana: A film on food will be my happy hour | Hindi Movie News – Times of India

Aparshakti Khurana knows the coolest places to eat, irrespective of the city he is in. A self-confessed foodie, the actor shares he has a list of places that he makes sure to visit whenever he’s in Delhi, Chandigarh or any other city to indulge his tastebuds. During his recent visit to the capital, we took the Jubilee actor – who has lived in the capital in the past – to India Gate, for a walk down the memory lane.Although he had a sore throat, Aparshakti managed to finish a cola ice cream with us. “Yeh toh main tab kha raha hoon jab mera gala kharab hai,” he playfully says.
‘I WAS IN CLASS IV WHEN I RECOGNISED MY LOVE FOR FOOD’
Aparshakti says his romance with foodstartedwhenhewasinClassIV. Sharing an anecdote from his childhood, he tells us, “I clearly remember entering the kitchen and realising my love for food. It started when my mother gave me besan ki sabzi for school one day. Jab main woh sabzi school le kar gaya, saare dost ladh padhe last bite ke liye. These were my best friends; we always played together, but this group of sportspeople was made up of foodies!”

‘YOU CAN EAT ANYTHING, JUST PLAN YOUR DIET ACCORDINGLY’
The actor says he’s willing to charge half his remuneration for a film if he’s ever offered a movie on food. “It will be my happy hour,” he chuckles, dding, “You need to find your happy space in life. Success and satisfaction ussi ko kehte hain when you are happy with your little things. Kon rok sakta hai mujhe chaat ya phir mummy ke haath se bana khaana khane se?” Your diet, we pipe in. “Oh, you can manage. You just need to plan your dietaccordingly.Mytraineroftentells me, ‘We are not aiming for six-pack abs; woh tab karenge jab koi specific project hoga’. Aap mujhe abhi kahenge ki GK jana hai palak patte ki chaat khane, main running karte hua jaunga. That’s the kind of fitness I have. I workout every day, I run or play (football) every day to keep fit,” he says.
‘CLASSICS KO AAP MATT CHEDHIYE – BE IT IN FILMS, FOOD OR MUSIC’
The Stree actor, however, is quick to share that he abhors viral but bizarre food combos like Maggi milkshake or gulab jamun burger. “I hate such combinations. It’s like recreating and rehashing new songs! Don’t do it! Uske kuch fans hai, following hai, kuch log emotionally attached hai unn legends ke saath. A good fusion is always welcome, lekin creativity ke naam pe hum kuch zyada hi bizarre ho jaate hain. Classics ko aap matt chedhiye – be it in films, food or music.”
