Mumbai, March 18: Bollywood star Akshay Kumar shared his interesting perspective on food and tradition during the latest episode of the reality game show "Wheel of Fortune".
One of the contestants revealed that during a date, when they ordered Chicken Tangdi, she began eating it with a fork and knife, leaving her partner a little confused.
Excited to hear the host's opinion on the matter, Akshay was asked how he would eat Chicken Tangdi. To this, the "Airlift" actor shared that while he doesn't eat non-vegetarian food, if he ever had Chicken Tangdi, he would definitely eat it with his hands instead of using a fork and knife.
He added humorously, "The joy of eating with your hands is lost when you use metal utensils."
Akshay further explained that washing your hands properly and then eating with your hands enhances the entire experience, making the food taste even better.
The "Welcome" actor then painted a vivid picture. He described mixing rice with curd and dal, and then adding jeera aloo, some bhindi, and a little gobi, gently blending it all with his hands, and taking one bite for himself and feeding one bite to his fiancé.
To refresh the audience's memory, during a previous episode of the show, Akshay had spoken about his fondness for Gujarati cuisine.
"The joy of eating undhiyu, tuar ki daal... that's the kind of food we love. The taste of a traditional Gujarati thali, with edamame and other things, is unmatched," he shared.
"Wheel of Fortune" airs from Monday to Friday at 9:00 PM, exclusively on Sony Entertainment Television, and also streams on Sony LIV.
