It’s not always that you see B-Town folks addressing relevant subjects through their movies. That’s why Huma Qureshi and Sonakshi Sinha deserve to be lauded for doing a film like Double XL that tackles body shaming. The two actors not only shared great camaraderie during filming, but also interesting food chemistry on the sets. For a scene where their characters indulge in revenge eating, Huma and Sona head to a diner and order the entire menu on offer. Not surprisingly, not only the two actors, but also the crew was tempted to savour the delicacies their characters mention as part of their dialogues. “After we were done with the scene, Sona and I were super tempted to sit down and eat at the diner. We actually went on to order the same food to indulge as we were all hungry and the food dialogue just fuelled our hunger further,” recalls Huma. Sona adds, “What comes across as a comical scene was actually really tough for Huma, me and the entire cast! It was tough because we simply couldn’t manage to resist ourselves from ordering food after the shot was done. All of us sat down and enjoyed a classic diner breakfast with the works.” That’s really a whole lot of food for thought.
