Namit Das, who plays the titular role in the new serial ‘Sumeet Sab Sambhal Lega,’ can ‘sambhal lo’ all else except the kitchen. Namit may not be able to cook but he is a connoisseur of good food.

The first thing I have in the morning is chocolate milk with porridge and fruits.

I like to swim to keep fit and I run on the beach when I am not shooting.

Idea of a romantic meal

A French preparation of fish or chicken with a salad and some Sangria by the side. I would like to sit by the seaside with the sound of waves crashing in the background. And of course, the most important thing is the company, which heightens the entire experience

Your culinary abilities

I can boil water very well and yes, I can make masala tea.

For me my mother-in-law is the best cook in the world. She makes a rare dish called gulab jamun ki sabzi.

Italian and Mughlai. I love pastas and biryanis.

I like red chillies, though I can’t eat lots of them.

Food you feel you resemble: 

I am like an apple. Apple keeps both the doctor and negativity away.

A childhood memory associated with food

My mom’s preparation of kofta pulao which is the tastiest dish I have ever had. Whenever I am feeling a little low, I ask her to cook it for me.
