Farah
Khan was gearing up for a sugar-filled episode with Sonam Kapoor as the
actress had promised to bake muffins and cookies for Farah Ki Daawat.
But their plans were hit for a six when the 29-year-old actress was
diagnosed with swine flu. Not wanting to leave the
director-choreographer-and now-TV host high and dry, Arjun Kapoor, like a
good bade bhaiyya stepped in for Sonam and whipped up his signature
dish - Jungli mutton - while his chachu, Anil Kapoor, added a sweet
touch with some sugarcane juice.
"Jungli mutton is the only item Arjun knows how to cook. He takes shikaar ka meat, mixes in lots of masala including red chillies and pepper and lets it simmer in the pot for hours," reveals Farah. "Anil doesn't know how to cook anything and wasn't willing to learn either. We eventually forced him to compete in a task and he beat Kapil Sharma and me by squeezing out the maximum ganne ka juice."
Anil is on a perennial diet and his nephew took a tongue-in-cheek dig at his lean-and-fit uncle by mimicking him nibbling from the plates of guests at a party. "He never takes a plate for himself, telling everyone he's on a diet and Sunita (wife, Sunita Kapoor) has forbidden him from eating anything. And then he'll go around taking bites from everyone else's plates till the food runs out," she laughs, admitting that Anil looks younger than his 58 years and when she complimented him, he responded with a thumbs up and his favourite phrase, "Jhakaaaas!"
Arjun on the other hand had to battle the bulge at 150-plus kgs and admitted that he ate "mountains of food" for lunch. When asked how he rated himself as a chef he replied, "I give myself 10 on 10."
And did chacha-bhatija finally walk away, licking their fingers, to the tunes of My name is Lakhan? "Noooo," Farah sighs. "Anil had warned me not to play the Ram-Lakhan song on my show saying he'd been dancing to it for 30 years and was fed up."
