Arjun Kapoor still from the cooking show ‘Star vs Food’ on discovery+
Stars do eat but they can’t be bothered to cook. That’s the key learning you take away from Star vs Food, a discovery+ show. There is much boasting about the lack of culinary skills, at least by the celebrities featured in the first three episodes. Kareena Kapoor Khan says she is most happy to let her husband Saif Ali Khan don the chef’s hat; Karan Johar hadn’t chopped an onion in his life until the show; and Arjun Kapoor doesn’t enter the kitchen even to “make toast”. This ‘ignorance-is-bliss’ attitude is what the makers hope will translate to some fun in the kitchen. But, there’s hardly any. That is until Sanjay Kapoor enters as Arjun’s guest (episode 3) and gives a glimpse of what a Kapoor family dinner is like. It’s all snark and laughs.
