I am
Mostly a vegetarian. I eat eggs or chicken once in a while but I dont eat mutton or fish.u00a0
u00a0I begin my day with
A litre of water. On a hot day, I follow it with a glass of cold coffee, on other days I have black coffee without sugar. I am a complete coffee person, I have tea once in a blue moon.u00a0
MY breakfast IS
Normally brown bread toast with butter and eggs.u00a0
u00a0My lunch IS
I carry it from home. Normally we all get together on shoots and share the food we have brought from home. Its basically rice, dal, sabzi, curd etc.u00a0
u00a0In the evenings
If I am doing a dance routine and I am very hungry or I need the carbs, then I end up ordering fries and feeling guilty. But its normally a sandwich.u00a0
u00a0My dinner is
I try to follow a routine of eating by 7:30 or 8 pm. Its a normal dinner.
u00a0My fitness regime
I go to the gym about 4-5 times a week. I run for about 20 minutes to half an hour. I dont follow a particular diet. I work out at Udays (Chopra) house. He has a gym in his house which is about two minutes away from my home. The food in his house is awesome.

u00a0 In sweets I like
Chocolates, barfis, gulab jamuns. I can smell a coffee and tell whether it is good or not and the same goes for a gulab jamun or a barfi. I take a small bite of dessert to begin with but end up eating the whole portion.
u00a0My best diningu00a0
u00a0Friends
My wife and my co-stars. The biggest foodie I know is Anand Rai, the director of Strangers. He keeps experimenting with restaurants. He recommends new places, including dhabas. Uday is another person who is very fond of food.
u00a0My favourite cooks
My mother and my wife. From a dal to a chicken, everything my wife makes is fantastic. My mother is a complete vegetarian and she makes great food.u00a0
u00a0 My Sunday lunch
Its all normal food. Only when we travel are we particular about going out for lunch or dinner. I can never be sure when I have a complete day off. If I do, then I drive off to Amby Valley, Lonvala.u00a0
u00a0My idea of a romanticu00a0u00a0meal
What my wife and I normally do is make a plan and go for dinner to the JW Marriott and they have these sections which are completely isolated, with a door. We chat after ordering food. We dont drink.u00a0u00a0
u00a0 I resemble
A cucumber. I am as cool as a cucumber.
u00a0 I cant resist buying
I am not the kind of person who would pick up my coffee from the supermarket. Since I am a coffee person I carry my own French press coffee maker with me. I always carry the ground coffee beans with me. If I am abroad, I make it a point to drink Starbucks coffee.u00a0
u00a0When I am shooting
I carry Red Bull with me in my chiller for other people.u00a0
u00a0My fridge always has
Colas, Red Bulls and chocolates. There is always mithai in case there is a craving.
u00a0My favourite...
Spice: Green chilli.
Kitchen appliance:
Blender.
Beverage: Cola.
Cuisine: Kashmiri food. Its a wide range.u00a0
FAVOURITE RESTAURANT
Nandos Peri Peri Restaurant
Inorbit Mall, Orchid City Centre, Palm Beach Galleria
67042909, 66106611, 27880422
Jimmy says, "JW Marriott because its very close to my house. I am a member and I just call up and book a table when I want to dine out with my wife or friends.
Before going abroad, I find out the good places to eat. In London, Kuala Lumpur and Dubai, I recommend Nandos. They make excellent and spicy chicken.
Established in 1987 over 26 countries, Nandos has Portuguese influences in its food. Their specialty is the chicken they make using lemon, herbs or even mango at times.
If you visit their outlets in Manchester on a particularly lucky day, you might just bump into David Beckham or the entire English football team.
