| Food Vs Fitness A face off with Sumeet Raghavan Sumeet Raghavan is one of the most visible faces in the Indian advertising industry, with more than a couple of hundred ads to his name. He has created a name for himself on the small screen by portraying some memorable characters like the adorable driver in Hadh Kar Di (Zee TV - 1998) and ofcourse, the lovable Dr. Sahil Sarabhai in Sarabhai vs Sarabhai (Star One - 2005). He is the perfect husband to his wife, Chinmayee and the perfect dad to his two kids. ShaadiTimes spoke to Sumeet about his fitness and food regime.
Fitness and food... I am not into 'gymming'. I don't have any fitness routine. I just try to avoid food high in calories. During shoots, I prefer home food and fruits. My meals normally consist of dal, subzi and roti . I have the rice that is provided on the sets. But for dinner, I completely avoid rice. The food I love... I have a massive sweet tooth and once in a while, I do binge. I try to avoid it, but the temptation is too much to resist. I love non-veg food. My favourite is the mutton cooked by my wife. The best chef award goes to... My wife is a fantastic cook. Even a simple dal made by her tastes delicious. Non-veg is her specialty. It may sound like a cliche, but besides my wife, my mom is the best cook. I mean, it is such a repeated answer, lekin hai toh hai, kya karein? Bombay meri jaan... I love Bombay food. No other place can boast of so many types of cuisines co-existing at one place, you have North Indian, South Indian, Gujarati, Bengali and international cuisines like Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Thai, Japanese. I prefer having home food most of the times, but I love Gypsy near Shivaji Park, it is like a second home to me. I like Italian cuisine too. I, the cook... I don't cook, but I can cook to save my life. Last year, during the 26/7 floods, my wife was visiting her native place and I had sent my kids to Pune. Those few days I cooked simple things like dal , roti and easy to make vegetables. I can make real good French Toast.
Pearls of wisdom... I am a total foodie. I love to eat anything and everything. My wife keeps a check on my food habits. It's a weakness with me; I can't refrain from eating. But, at the same time, I would advise the readers to eat healthy food. I am calorie conscious. I don't have a food regime, but it's always important to eat your meals on time and follow a routine. If you eat dinner at 10 p.m., make sure to have it everyday at 10 p.m. Sometimes my routine goes for a toss as I come home late at nights after shoots. But it is not advisable to eat late at nights. |
