Aakash Chopra safely can say he has had a ‘meal of a lifetime!’
Given we are living in the times where people are so addicted to social media, Chopra turned out to be just one of those.
While most of the insta-grammers and Twitter obsessed post pictures of the dishes, Chopra took to Twitter to share a picture of the bill of his “memorable” meal.
Apparently, the former cricketer’s meal amounted to a bill of nearly seven lakh! Yes, that’s right, seven lakh! He posted a photo of the receipt as a proof of the money he had to shell on basic Indian dishes like paneer tikka, paneer butter, veg kebab, among others.
Wait, you don’t to quickly Google the name of the super expensive restaurant because here the trick is the currency conversion.
The cricketer-turned-commentator was on a vacation with his family in Indonesia, where he had the memorable meal.
Here, one Indian Rupee is equal to 210 Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) and thus, his bill, in actuality, comes down to Rs 3,334, which is considerably less than the “nearly 7 lac” that Chopra tried to trick you into believing that he paid.
While some of the Twitter users even took it a chance to troll Chopra. One pointed out that a meal in Mumbai's Carter Road is more expensive than this.
Rs. 3,334.03/- Only in India.

It is Ok than current rate at #CarterRoad
While one suggested it was not good on Chopra's part to share something like this knowing the difference in the conversion rate. But, Chora was a sport as he responded to that comment, leaving the user happy.
Thoda fun and laughter is also important dost
