Salman Khan ko spicy food pasand hai, he eats everything, doesn't follow diet, reveals director Mahesh Manjrekar

Salman Khan with BFF and director Mahesh Manjrekar

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, known for his chiselled body and impressive fitness even at 59, has a secret that might surprise his fans. According to filmmaker and long-time friend Mahesh Manjrekar, the Sikandar actor is a big fan of spicy, flavourful food—and doesn’t really follow a diet!

In a candid chat on Kunal Vijaykar’s YouTube series “Khane Mein Kya Hai,” Mahesh revealed interesting details about Salman’s food habits. When asked about whose home-cooked food he enjoys the most in the industry, Mahesh instantly took Salman’s name. “I like the food at Salman’s house. He’s also very fond of his spicy food. He wants taste. Usse ekdum proper tel vegre sab daalke proper khana pasand hai, wo sabkuch khata hai," he said.

The revelation is surprising because Salman Khan has always maintained an enviable physique. From action-packed films to dance numbers, his body has been the talk of the town for decades. But behind that discipline, it turns out there’s a foodie who values taste over strict diets.

“Contrary to popular belief, he doesn’t worry much about dieting,” Mahesh added. “He likes his spices and wants proper taste in his meals. He doesn’t enjoy eating tasteless, diet food.” This comes as a refreshing contrast in an industry where celebrities often stick to highly restrictive diets and clean eating routines.

Interestingly, Mahesh compared Salman’s food to that of Sanjay Dutt’s and mentioned that while Sanjay’s home food is good but less spicy, Salman’s kitchen serves food that’s full of flavour and masala. The takeaway? If you’re dining at Salman’s place, expect a plate full of spicy goodness.

Mahesh and Salman have worked together on multiple films and share a strong off-screen bond. This behind-the-scenes glimpse of their camaraderie over food shows how deep their friendship goes, and how food often becomes a medium for stronger connections—even in Bollywood.

So the next time you spot Salman Khan showing off his fit body on screen, remember—he does it all without skipping his favourite spicy meals. A true example of balance between taste and fitness!
