Some families have secret recipes. The Ahujas apparently have a very simple rule for midnight hunger: eat whatever makes you happy. The latest episode of Tere Gully Mein saw Tina Ahuja join us for a plate of chole bhature and a nostalgic walk through one of her favourite childhood spots in Mumbai. Between stories from growing up and memories attached to the neighbourhood, the conversation took a delicious detour towards late-night cravings, revealing what finds its way onto the Ahuja dining table after hours.
Tina Ahuja Gives A Peek Into Govinda’s Midnight Food Routine
For Tina, midnight snacking isn’t particularly elaborate. Her comfort combo is as uncomplicated as it gets: a Diet Coke, a packet of chips and some chocolate. So no, there are no gourmet spreads or fancy recipes, just the kind of treats that instantly satisfy a craving.
When the spotlight shifted to Govinda, Tina Ahuja painted a picture that’s way too relatable. Unlike people who have a fixed late-night order or specific comfort food, the Bollywood star isn’t choosy at all. If hunger strikes, he’ll eat whatever is available at home. A plate of dal chawal…sounds perfect. Something else that’s already in the kitchen? Bring it on!
In fact, Tina laughed about one habit that has never changed. Govinda doesn’t even bother asking for food to be reheated. If dinner has gone cold by the time he decides to eat, he’ll simply have it that way instead of waiting for someone to warm it up. Hunger comes first; temperature can wait.

Reveals The Restaurant Govinda Loves Ordering From
The chat also uncovered one restaurant that has become a favourite for ordering in. Tina revealed that Govinda most often orders from Sampan, one of Mumbai’s well-known Chinese dining restaurants.
His favourite dishes are tandoori fish and tandoori chicken, dishes that make frequent appearances whenever an order is placed from restaurants.
It’s these tiny, unfiltered details that make conversations on Tere Gully Mein so enjoyable. A celebrity talking about cold dal chawal, a dependable order from a favourite restaurant, or a midnight snack that consists of chips and chocolate; it all feels more like peeking into an ordinary family kitchen after everyone else has gone to bed.
