No dieting for Bipasha Basu

It was a pleasant change for actor Bipasha Basu who indulged in some yummy food on an outdoor schedule. The actor, who is very strict about her workout schedules and diet, recently took it easy when it came to her eating habits. It’s hard to believe but fitness freak Bipasha was on a cheese and yoghurt diet in Greece! She was shooting for her film, Jodi Breakers with R Madhavan in Mykonos and she gorged on everything from cheese crepes, cheese omelettes to fried cheese.

A source from the sets in Greece reveals it all. “Initially, Bipasha who is very particular about her diet was figuring out her lunch and dinner schedule. She would order healthy food for herself. She even urged the slightly plump Madhavan to switch to healthy food. In fact she also insisted that he adopt a healthier lifestyle and work out with her in the gym. He insisted that he was pretty happy and didn’t bother much. Madhavan, on the other hand, would always order gourmet food. He is a foodie and loves sampling the local cuisine so he would order his food from the restaurants around the location they were filming at.” Talking about their food habits, the source adds, “While Bips had a specific restaurant she ordered her food from and that would always take a while to arrive, Maddy’s food would always arrive on time. After a point, she got tired of waiting and started eating his food. She gorged on yummy, cheesy gourmet food and piled on a few pounds as well.”

Bipasha too agreeing to it adds that she did indeed forgo her diet for a while in Greece. “Well, we used to devour on all kinds of cheesy things. Cheese crepes, fried mozzarella cheese cakes, Tiramisu, Feta in Greek salad. Also, Greek yummy yogurt and honey which is a speciality there. I feasted on chicken giros and nutella crepes on an everyday basis. When I came back to Mumbai after the schedule, I was nicknamed cheese ball by my friends,” she laughs.
