Aishwarya Rai

Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai were treated to a sumptuous feast while shooting a sequence for Ashutosh Gowarikar’s movie Jodha Akbar .

Recently, Ash and Hrithik shot for a scene in which Ash (as princess Jodha) serves Hrithik (as emperor Akbar) delicious traditional food. Apart from the two stars, 18 other actors took part in the sequence. The actors played Akbar’s ministers.

It is learnt that special cooks were called from Rajasthan to prepare the food for the shooting at Nitin Desai’s studio in Karjat.

Hrithik and Ash reportedly told Ashutosh Gowarikar in advance to ask the cooks to use less ghee in food. Rajasthani food generally contains a lot of ghee. Hrithik and Ash, who are very particular about their diets, would not have eaten the high-fat food.

Secondly, even though only 20 people had to take part in the scene, the cooks were told to make a lavish feast for 80 people because several shots had to be retaken.

Consequently, the cooks made rich and mouth-watering traditional delicacies. Although the food looked very colourful, it had very little spices and ghee.

Reports say both Hrithik and Ash loved the food. And the two stars did not mind doing double takes for some shots.

After the shooting, the feast was made available to the shooting crew, who enjoyed the sumptuous meal with full delight.
