Randeep seeing a chef

Mumbai, Jan 16 (IANS) Of late Randeep Hooda has been driving from his home in the suburbs much too frequently.

Asked if he was seeing someone in town, he quipped: 'Yes, I'm seeing a chef at a posh hotel in town. This is for the role of a chef that I'm playing in my next film.'

Randeep has been spending a lot of time in the kitchen of a five-star hotel honing up his culinary skills, and can actually cook up quite a meal.

'By now I've become a master of spices. I'm not only a specialist at food but also the body language and the general demeanour of a chef,' the actor told IANS.

Randeep, who is doing Ketan Mehta's 'Rang Rasiya', isn't at liberty to discuss the film or the role. But from what one hears the actor plays a chef who has a relationship with a number of women of varying shapes and sizes.

'You make me sound like a very active chef. Let's put it this way. I play a guy who likes to cook up a whole lot of adventure,' he laughed.

One fortunate fall-out of the encounters with the chef is that Randeep has become the best host in town. 'I can cook a fabulous meal and play the saxophone for dessert.'
