She jokingly adds that all the rich and delicious dishes that she whipped up must have irritated Akshay’s trainer Jennifer who travels with him all the time.

“When Akshay would eat all that I cooked for him I would catch Jennifer looking at me as if admonishing me for wreaking havoc with his diet. Finally when I The best master chef:Sonakshi left Chandigarh I told her that I was going away.”
