Mishal Raheja: I like weekends to be cheat days

I like weekends to be cheat days: TV actor Mishal Raheja

He likes to enjoy good food over weekends, and can cook fish curry and prawn curry with rice.

As told to Manali Shah
Hindustan Times

Dine out, order in, or cook a meal on weekends?

Dine out.

Can: cook a five-course meal/make a sandwich/boil water/don't know how the gas works?

I can cook but definitely not a five-course meal. I can whip up basic rice and meat-based gravies, like fish curry rice and prawn curry rice, but not dal and vegetables.

On weekends: work out like it's just another day/go easy/exercise... what's that?

I work out just as if it's yet another weekday.

Strictly salads and grilled chicken, or cheese/chocolate cheat for the weekend?

Chocolate/cheese cheat. I like weekends to be cheat days.

Where do you party?

I like going to karaoke pubs.

Where do you love getting breakfast and what's go-to order?

I love gorging on maska pav and chai, or omelette and bread at Irani restaurants. At home, it's oats, raisins and boiled eggs.

Some complicated Iced Frappe person or straight-up espresso person?

I like caramelized machiato - one of the top items at Starbucks.

Street food that makes your day?

Vada pav.

A movie/book you've been meaning to catch up on?

I hope to read the classic, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, soon.

Favourite hashtag.

#PetLove.

What one thing can totally make your weekend?

A good movie, some good food, going out with my family, and maybe a nice date.

What one thing can break it?

Getting stuck in traffic for hours is a total killjoy.
