Dahi bhalle, gol gappe and biryani delight the cast & crew of Hitler Didi

Good living and good food go hand in hand. The eating habits of Hitler Didi cast are as exciting as their personalities. The actors of the upcoming show on Zee TV Rati Pandey, Sandeep Baswana, Gargi Sharma, and Smita Singh are having a gala time during the shoot of the show and couldn’t resist munching on local delicacies namely dahi bhalle, gol gappe, kachori and biryani. Even when the star cast is busy shooting in the crowded locales of Delhi they manage to relish their favourite delicacies. “The food is amazing out here and I don’t miss a single chance of eating varied delicacies. Dahi bhalle khaate khaate shot dedo and later gol gappe kha lo. I love the food in Delhi,” says Rati with a beaming smile. Sandeep Baswana is another one who is going gaga over Delhi food. His culinary experience lasted all the way from Parathe Waali Galli in Chandni Chowk to Nawab Gunj. The actor who hails from Haryana believes that shooting in Delhi is like homecoming for him. “I am getting to eat all my favourite food items after many years. We keep eating during the shoot as well. Rati once treated all of us to aloo puri. All I can say is that I am having a blast.” The cast of Hitler Didi is bonding well it seems. Apart from healthy gastronomical experiences, they regularly play pranks on each other. Sandeep informed that the male lead of the show Sumit Vats is a pandit and a pure vegetarian. He once contemplated to act naughty and mix non-vegetarian food in Sumit’s vegetarian food. But he pulled out at the last minute. Furthermore, Smita who is playing Sandeep’s wife in the show complained that she has gained 5 kgs in the span of just 10-12 days. People on the sets have given her the sobriquet, ‘bhukkad of the year’. “We are a gang of four people, namely producer Manick Bedi, director Mohit Jha, cameraman Hanif Sheikh and me. We are hardcore fans of non-vegetarian food and we eat anything from biryani to khichadi,” says Smita. Well, we can only recount American chef and food writer James Beard’s words, “Food is our common ground, a universal experience.”
