In a recent interview with Lallantop, Aakash Chopra recalled their room-sharing days, saying, “I asked Dhoni if he was a vegetarian or a non-vegetarian. This was also an issue because we had to order food. If both were vegetarians and both were non-vegetarians, things would be easier. I am a vegetarian.”
Akash further said, “Dhoni asked me, ‘What do you eat?’ I said vegetarian, so the child (Dhoni) ate vegetarian food for 30 days. I later found out that he is a non-vegetarian. But inside the room, he never called the room service and asked them to send him something else. You can call Dhoni’s nature shy, but at the same time, he was full of confidence. Dhoni knew what he was doing and would definitely do something.”
