In this amazing episode, we got to know a great deal about Vidya Balan. From her love for theatre to her memories with Shilpa Shetty in school, we wanted to know it all. She shared how Shilpa was always the hottie in school and a terrific basketball player. She even taught Vidya how to dribble a ball.
Getting to the main issue of food, she had some great restaurant recommendations in Chembur. She shared that she simply loves the bhelpuri, sev puri, dahi batata puri, and ragada patties from Gupta Bhelpuri near Chembur station. The Vada Pav stall outside the Chembur post office is also one of her favourites. She is especially fond of the garlic chutney they serve. On 16th Road, a vendor sells samosa pav, and she loves indulging in it. Even though it is completely drenched in oil and needs to be squeezed before it is consumed, Vidya finds it completely worth it.
