MUMBAI MIRROR (July 12, 2019)

Kapil Sharma had some surprise guests on his talk show, The Kapil Sharma Show. Actress Padmini Kolkapure and her brother-in-law, actor Shakti Kapoor, along with Krushna Abhishek and the host, took everyone on a laugh-filled trip down memory lane. When quizzed by the host on rumours that Anil Kapoor had been given the responsibility of getting her dates for Woh Saat Din, his first Hindi film as leading man, she quipped, “Yes, that’s true. And Anil got them too, quite easily, because he wooed me with these huge lunch boxes filled with tasty food every day.” So, now we know, the way to Padmini’s heart is through her stomach.

Raving about the “fantastic” film, Shakti then went on to reveal that the tiffin boxes now come to his home from Anil’s as his daughter Sonam and his son Siddhanth are buddies. “So, whenever there is good food at their place, we get sent these tiffin boxes.”

The trio then played a game whereby they had to name an actor after a vegetable they most resembled. Govinda was likened to a tomato because “he wears the most fashionable clothes” while Shatrughan Sinha got adrak (ginger) because he’s “kadak”. Jeetendra was likened to a radish because of his white clothes while Johny Lever was dhaniya (coriander) because you got it for free when you go shopping for veggies. Now, that’s some food for thought.
