The Bollywood Entourage Explosion
Farah and Rakesh Roshan reminisced about simpler days on sets, there were just 30–40 people, shared meals, no vanity vans. Today’s actors arrive with at least 200 people; they require 3–9 vanity vans, separate ones for chefs, gyms, staff, even food trucks. And that Rs 40,000 chicken salad? She joked that even after all that extravagance, the van chef still ends up eating the home-cooked food she brings!

At Shalin Bhanot’s house, she revealed she’d taken proactive steps for her cook Dilip’s family—having enrolled his child in culinary school so “they shouldn’t have to work at anybody’s home” in the future. A touching, generous act that moved many.
