Forgive me my ignorance but what exactly are Akshay's credentials? I can understand he may be a great cook and has a well seasoned palate of many different world cuisine, but then so am I and thousands of other women (and men)
I really like Akshay as an actor, but soemhow I cant digest him being the judge.....
dear madmad girl if you wanna knw anything abt akki, ask me.
he was a chef in thailand before becoming a model and later an actor.
so cooking for him is going back to his roots.
he'll be fantastic, don't worry - enjoy the show
the thing abt akshay darling is that whatever he gets into, it's going to be something that he knows he will be able to do 100%, for example katharon ke khiladi - he used to do the stunts himself, so he knew the tactics fully. if he didn't trust himself to judge food he would never have signed up for it. he basically never does anything in halves.
and am not just saying this coz i love him to bits - but because i have always followed him closely for the last 20 years.
