While shooting for Star vs Food, filmmaker Karan Johar stepped out of his comfort zone and prepped a meal for the first time and cooked his favourite Japanese dish, Katsu Curry alongside soft shell crab Sushi.
During the show, Karan shared some secrets as he spoke about his dream date, weirdest meal, midnight snack and more.
Speaking about an actress who he’d like to have as his dream dinner guest, he said, “I would love to have a meal with Meryl Streep. I have never met her, but I want to have a meal with her. I want to look into her eyes and tell her that she is the best person and best artiste on planet earth. She would be my ideal dinner guest”.
On being asked to describe himself as a snack, KJo said, “If I was a snack, I would be Chutney Sandwich, because I am spicy in between but I can really cover it up well.” He also revealed his signature dish and said, “My signature dish would be a quiche. I like a quiche. There’s lots happening in there, but it can be served really well.” Adding about his favourite midnight snack, he exclaimed, “Oh ice cream”.
On being asked about the weirdest food he has ever had, sharing an anecdote from Paris, he said, “I am not very adventurous with food. Someone gave me a rabbit that looked like chicken. I ate it and wondered why this chicken is tasting so amazingly different and delicious and it was at a French restaurant in Paris. While having a conversation with the guest right after that, I was like, ‘I have always been told like nobody really serves chicken in Paris because it isn’t considered the standard meat.’ To which they said there wasn’t any chicken today on the menu. I said I ate chicken. They said no you ate rabbit. And then I went hopping back home,” Karan signs off.
