Sunaina Gulla, who plays the character of Dr. Anjali in "Dill Mill Gayye", is a complete gastronome. So much that she just can't stop when she starts talking about food. What do you prefer --- homemade food or outside food? I take water, but I can drink Coke with any dish. Do you take any hard drink? If yes, what are the brands you prefer? I'm not a regular, but occasionally I prefer wine and beer. What about junk food? There is only junk food on my list of favourite dishes. That's because they are all so tasty. Your favourite fast food eatery? Monza, I love its Italian cuisine. Organic aloo or Batata Vada? (Laughing) Batata Vada (more laughter). Favourite restaurant/eating place which you think is a must-visit for all and sundry? There's nothing fixed for me. As I prefer taste more than the food value, I like just about anywhere. Your take on diet and health food? I tried those once and ended up with 10 kgs more than what I weigh now. There was much pressure on me to go on a diet. Even then, I used to drink Coke at night when nobody would notice. But I loved having mangoes that time. Now I weigh just 48 kgs, so I don't need to go on a diet. Which would be that one dish that you will not be able to resist? Chocolate cakes. Could you share its recipe with us? Well, I'm not a great cook as I only prefer to eat. But once, I got the chance to prepare pasta. I can tell you how to make that.
