Amitabh Bachchan on relishing local food
Amitabh Bachchan shared that he used to a bakery in Mumbai, where food would typically cost Rs 4. However, the price of food items would drop to Rs 2 after midnight. Speaking of which, Big B added, "I used to wait until 12 am with my friends just to grab something to eat at the discounted price."
Talking about the time he arrived in Mumbai to find a job, the legendary actor stated that he didn't have much money and didn't know much about local food in the city.
"But there was this one place, I'm not sure if it still exists. They served Maharashtrian food at very reasonable prices, so we used to go there to eat. That’s where I had Shrikhand for the first time, and from that moment, I became a regular." Since Big B found Shrikhand delicious and affordable, he would often visit the restaurant.
