Actress Priyanka Chopra who recently embraced motherhood, found some girl time with her gang at Los Angeles, California. In her Instagram post on Sunday, the actress, clad in a rose gold tracksuit, can be seen out and about the town with her friends and their pets, “Soul Sunday with the girls. And pups”, Priyanka wrote in her caption. In her stories, Priyanka also gave us a glimpse of their brunch, for which they tried the much in vogue ‘Korean Barbecue’. Her table was filled with a selection of grilled meat and sauces. In a story posted by the ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ actress, she looks so overstuffed that she shimmies a bit in order to make room for some more food. “Can you explain what’s happening”, asks her friend and she replies, “making space for more”. She also put a question sticker on her story asking, “Do u think shaking after u overeat will make room for more?”
Now that is one hilarious take on ‘overeating’ don’t you think? But if you have something as enticing as a Korean BBQ in front of you, you are bound to think of ideas to hog as much just so that you do not regret it later. So what is a Korean Barbecue after all? And why is it all the rage?
