Milkshakes. Any milkshake will do. I am not very fussy about which fruit it is made of.

Same as every other day. I believe in having yummy food every day of the week.u00a0u00a0

u00a0My favourite cook
My aunt. She makes amazing food and every dish of hers has an X factor. Even a simple dal has some special aspect to it. My one favourite dish she prepares is Sindhi kadhi.u00a0u00a0

u00a0I cook

Vegetable pulao. My friends always tell me to prepare it whenever they are expected for lunch. And even I think I am good at it.u00a0u00a0
u00a0
u00a0Cooking disasters

Once I tried making dal fry which didn't fry but got burnt. I am not much of a cook.u00a0

u00a0My best diningu00a0u00a0friends are

Sandeep, Jessi, Priyanka and Neha. We mostly hang out at Indigo. It's one of my favourite hangouts.

u00a0My idea of a romanticu00a0u00a0meal

A small cosy restaurant, dimly lit with candles and soft music playing in the background. I hate noisy places as they tend to make me extremely uncomfortable.u00a0
u00a0
u00a0My comfort food

Khichdi as it has no masalas. Masalas tend to challenge the system in a weak condition.u00a0u00a0u00a0

u00a0I can't resist buying

Chhole bhature as the huge bhatures are dipped in oil and are full of calories. But no fun having chhole without bhature.u00a0u00a0

u00a0I resemble

A banana without a doubt.u00a0u00a0u00a0u00a0

u00a0In the Big Boss houseu00a0u00a0I cooked
Eggs. That's it. I didn't cook otherwise.u00a0
u00a0
u00a0In the Big Boss houseu00a0u00a0I ate
Soya, palak and dal chawal. It was tiring to have the same food all the time.u00a0u00a0

Favourite Restaurant

Govinda's
Dubai

Rohit says Indigo and Pratap Da Dhaba in India and Govinda's in Dubai are his favourite restaurants.

Govinda's in Dubai is a pure vegetarian restaurant that serves satvik food without onion or garlic.

They follow stringent measures to ensure that the food is pure and clean, including hand picking fresh herbs.

On their menu, you can find 12 paneer dishes, six kofta ones and seven different dals. Their yellow dal with spinach and vegetable haridwar is a must try.

Tru Frut is an ice cream that they serve which is all natural and all vegetarian. It is available in coconut, strawberry, gulkand, kesar pista, roasted almond and many more flavours.u00a0

The ambience and du00e9cor are also calm and soothing with soft lighting and religious art work adorning the walls.
