Shreyas Talpade eats bugs and beetles

Bollywood actor Shreyas Talpade has a stomach for more than we can imagine.

Shreyas had a chance to try out Thai cuisine while working in Nagesh Kukunoor’s film Bombay To Bangkok . The film, a lighthearted romantic story of an Indian boy and a Thai girl, has Shreyas pairing with Thai actress Lisa Christianson.

While working with Lisa, Shreyas gave her a taste of Indianness, right from Indian dishes to Hindi language. And then it was his turn to get a taste of Thai delicacies. But a mere look at the menu of a café in Bangkok made Shreyas feel squeamish.

On the platter and ready to serve were dishes like fried insects, crickets, scorpions, beetles, and worms.

Shreyas, a non-veggie, braved eating a few of these dishes. He tried a cricket, a scorpion and a silkworm. Needless to say, as soon as he put them in mouth, he gulped them and downed them with a glass of water.

After just one trial, Shreyas vowed never to even think of eating them again. But as soon as he vowed, director Nagesh Kukunoor found a chance to rub it in. He told Shreyas that he would have to eat those Thai delicacies again for a scene in the film.

Shreyas flatly refused to do so. So, bread was molded to look like insects for the scene.

‘Bombay To Bangkok’ is produced by Subhash Ghai . The film hits the theatres on January 18.
