Ajay devgan rolls up his sleeves

Not many people know that Ajay is a good chef. Recently, the cast and crew members of Ajay’s directorial debut, U Me Aur Hum, got a taste of his cooking.

From what we hear, Ajay asked all actors to bring home-made khana on the sets. When the actors reported to the sets, they were surprised to see Ajay bending over a barbeque, making smoking tikkas in the morning.

A reliable source informs, “The last schedule was brilliant. The actors used to have a picnic of sorts every day during lunch. Ajay’s chicken curry and grilled fish was quite a hit on the sets.”

Ajay Devgan, Kajol, Divya Dutta, Sumeet Raghavan, Isha Sharvani and Karan Khanna would get together for lunch on the sets. The actors often complained of having over-eaten. Divya Dutta says, “We used to have a potluck of sorts. All eyes were fixed on Ajay’s dabbas though. These small lunch-time gatherings were a lot of fun. Ajay would get dabbas for unit members as well.”

Divya Dutta dabba would usually comprise Punjabi dishes like rajma, and spicy curries for lunch. Isha Sharvani, who is extremely health conscious, would pack diet food in her dabba. Another source adds,“Isha is usually very careful about what makes way to her plate. But, by the end of the schedule even she couldn’t resist gorging on the chicken curry that Ajay had made.”

However, the actors are yet to eat Ajay’s famous biryani. Divya says, “Probably, we can have a party and request Ajay to make biryani for us.”
