When Ranbir Kapoor made Rashmika Mandanna cry on the sets of Animal: ‘Why do you eat boring food?’ | Bollywood News

Rashmika Mandanna and Ranbir Kapoor collaborated on the film Animal in 2023. The movie, directed Sandeep Reddy Vanga, went on to earn Rs 915 crore globally. Rashmika played Ranbir’s wife Geethanjali in the film and they shot most of the scenes together, spending a lot of time on set with each other. During one of those days, Rashmika complained about her breakfast to her co-star. What the actor did next left Rashmika in tears.
In an old interview with Mashable India, Rashmika recalled the incident and said, “When we were shooting for Animal, I was complaining about my breakfast. I was saying that it was very boring. The next day, he got breakfast for me. It was so nice and sweet of him. He made his chef cook for me. I started crying. I was like how can the same food be so good? He was like, ‘Why are you eating boring food?’ I was like, ‘You are blessed with a good cook. We are not. We are aam aadmi. We can’t get a cook from Hyderabad.’”

Last year, Chef Suryansh Singh Kanwar, who cooked for Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, shared a glimpse of the kind of food he prepared for the couple over the days. In a now-deleted-post, the chef shared photos of dosas, soups, omelettes, grilled fish, calamari, paneer, and a mix of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian delights.
In 2023, Ranbir Kapoor’s chef Ramaskanda Shastry had talked about the kind of diet Ranbir followed for his film Animal.

In an Instagram post, he shared, “When the prep for Animal began, we knew we were preparing for something ‘MASSive.’ Since it was crucial for Ranbir’s character to look a certain way, it was essential that he gained some weight and muscle. So, we put in all our effort into planning his diet.”
