New Delhi: We all know how Punjabi Kareena Kapoor Khan is when it comes to food. The actress has admitted to her foodie side several times in her media interactions. Kareena not just loves to gorge on delicious cuisines, she finds it hard to abstain herself from parathas and ghee. But very few of us know that there was a time when the diva had turned vegetarian because her then boyfriend was a vegetarian. Recalling, one of the incidents from that time, Kareena shared an interesting incident on Twinkle Khanna’s chat show when her dad Randhir Kapoor passed a callous comment on her vegetarian boyfriend and went on to pick a non-veg restaurant for dinner outing.
The veteran actor was apparently informed by her daughter’s choice that the guy she was seeing was a vegetarian after which he commented that the latter could have his dinner with the driver.
A video shared by ‘Tweak India’ on their YouTube channel, featuring Twinkle Khanna and Kareena Kapoor’, has the two divas talking about the incident.
Twinkle Khanna says, “There’s this apocryphal tale where you wanted to introduce a boyfriend to your dad. And you said, ‘Daddy, this is my new boyfriend, let’s go for dinner and he said, ‘Beta, Dum Pukht chalte hai.’ And then you said, ‘Daddy, he’s vegetarian.’ And he said, ‘Koi baat nahi beta wo driver ke saath khana khayega (No problem, he’ll eat with the driver)’.” For the unversed, ‘Dum Pukht’ is a restaurant popular for its non-vegetarian dishes.
Responding to Twinkle, Kareena, who seemed a little embarrassed by the topic, says, “What do I say, you know how they are, what do I say? You know how they are, about their food, about their paya.”
Twinkle further asks if they ended up going to the restaurant that was initially proposed by Kareena’s father, and did her ‘vegetarian boyfriend’ just sit there? To which Kareena replied, “He had to watch and stare.”
Talking about Kareena’s professional front, the 41-year-old actress is awaiting the release of her upcoming film, ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ alongside Aamir Khan, Naga Chaitanya, and Mona Singh in the film. ‘Laal Singh Chaddha’ is an official Hindi adaptation of the Hollywood film ‘Forrest Gump’ which is slated for April 14, 2022 release, on the occasion of Baisakhi.
