Star Vs Food: Arjun Kapoor shows reluctance to cook Chapli Kebab and Lal maas; Sanjay Kapoor reveals Anil Kapoor is a food stealer

Ever wondered what it would be like to see your favourite celebrities on a cooking show. Well, Discovery+ kicked off the Star Vs Food earlier this month with the beautiful Kareena Kapoor Khan. The new celebrity cooking show features weekly episodes of stars setting themselves up against the challenge of cooking a meal for their loved ones under the supervision of a professional chef. After Kareena, Karan Johar joined the show and he went through a lot when it came to cooking. Now, joining the star-studded lineup is Arjun Kapoor who visited The Butler and the Bayleaf restaurant in Mumbai where Chef Gulaam Gouse Deewani taught Arjun how to make Chapli Kebab and Lal Maas from scratch.

KAPOOR CLAN – FOODIE CLAN

“The Kapoor tradition is that there should always be more food than people,” says Arjun Kapoor explaining his foodie Kapoor family to the Chef so they can cook the cuisine accordingly. As they discuss two dishes to make, Arjun, who has never even made a toast, confesses, “I don’t even understand anything you are saying.”

ARJUN KAPOOR – THE RELUCTANT CHEF

“I did basics for a film I did, Ki and Ka and to be honest, I was as reluctant then as I am now,” says Arjun as he chops onions and tomatoes. While Chef was impressed that the actor was actually doing well, Arjun quipped that the chopping might even take 3-4 months. As he called himself “reluctant”, you could witness it when he wasn’t keen on folding the beef with his hands.

ARJUN’S RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD & PARENT’S DIVORCE

Arjun, further, reveals how food subconsciously became a huge part of his life after his parent’s divorce. “When my parents split up, I looked at food for comfort. I caught up in the way and I started eating and enjoyed it. At the time, fast food culture came to India.” The actor admitted it was difficult to let go of it and how it ended up harming him – he developed asthma, injuries and had reached 150 kgs by the time he was 16. “It reached a point where I developed asthma, I developed injuries because of it and I reached 150 kgs by the time I was 16 years old,” Arjun recalled.

STAR VS FOOD’S STARS – SANJAY KAPOOR AND MAHEEP KAPOOR

Interestingly, the episode airs on the day Maheep Kapoor is celebrating her birthday, April 29. Arjun Kapoor’s youngest uncle Sanjay Kapoor and aunt Maheep – who he addresses by their names – are the special guests on the episode who couldn’t believe Arjun cooked a meal.

ANIL KAPOOR – THE FOOD STEALER

Now, we know the reason behind Anil Kapoor’s evergreen avatar and fitness. During the conversation, Sanjay Kapoor revealed how Anil basically doesn’t take food in his plate but steals from others plates. The episode ends with the trio discussing their families, food culture and how Arjun’s maid would hide food in order to give it to him, while he was growing up in the joint family.

All in all, Star Vs Food featuring Arjun Kapoor was a decent watch but the highlight of the episode was definitely his camaraderie with his uncle and aunt – Sanjay and Maheep.
