He also talked about the food and said he cannot resist ‘daal’, ‘saag’ or any other local dish. Talking about the food culture in Lahore, he said ‘Lahore Lahore hai’ (Lahore is Lahore) and he got to try so many different types of food there.
“Pakistani food is very delicious. You can give me daal, saag or anything; I really like it. “Lahore is Lahore and they did feed me a lot food. I came back and I had to go on a diet for about a week because all I had done was eat.”
Earlier, he had also shared a photograph of Pakistani food which he tried in Lahore and said that he has become a fan of the city.
“Jinnay Lahore nahi wekh-e-ya aou jamiya nahi” reminds me of Samuel Johnson’s “if you are tired of London…”. Lahore, consider me born! (Oh, & did I mention the food?) #GettingtoKnow🇵🇰 pic.twitter.com/bSRoWiLi0v
