The venue for the annual IIFA awards was United Arab Emirates this year. Being held in Abu Dhabi this time, all the stars from the Bollywood industry were there to attend the awards. Be it veteran actors like Chunky Panday or newbies of B-town like Kriti Sanon, everyone was there to perform and enjoy the function. Amidst the mind-blowing dance performances and melodious music, we spotted Chunky Panday receiving a note to himself. The actor who is well-known for his comic timing and witty humour was there for the entire series of events. The 22nd round of these awards was hosted by Yas Island and Chunky Panday graced the occasion with his presence. His daughter, Ananya Panday was there too. The Housefull actor is also a big-time foodie like his daughter.
He joined Shilpa Shetty and Ananya Panday in their Sunday binge some time back and has revealed in several interviews that he doesn’t like to cook but eat. Chunky Panday’s iconic character from Bollywood film series, Housefull, is also inspired by a dish. He is called ‘Aakhri Pasta’ in the film and his character often says the dialogue, “Aakhri Pasta on London raasta”. This humourous character took an interesting turn at the IIFA awards this year as Chunky Panday got a note for himself. He posted a picture on his Instagram story, with a bowl of uncooked macaroni and a fake moustache placed at the centre of it. On a tissue paper, the message read, “Note to self, Throwback to Aakhri Pasta” and a few hand-drawn moustaches on both the sides.
This is a tube-shaped pasta which is baked with loads of sauce and cheese. Stuffed with fresh pumpkin, and low fat cream cheese, the cannelloni has spinach, tomato puree and lots of herbs like thyme. Garnish with pumpkin seeds and some bay leaves and you’ll never go back from here.
