Television actress Sakshi Tanwar and former cricketer Virender Sehwag bonded over food and tea during the shooting of a cookery show. Sakshi, who hosts a food show titled "Tyohaar Ki Thaali" for Epic channel, had the cricketer over for a special episode. On her experience of cooking with Sehwag, Sakshi said in a statement: "It was very nice to have Virendra on my show. He came and shared a lot of his memories.

"He was saying how his mother used to pack 'gond ke laddoo' for him whenever he went for any tournament and the size of the laddoo used to be as big as a cricket ball. Since he used to not have a lot of food during the match, he used to happily fill his stomach with one laddoo and one litre of milk."

Sehwag also prepared a cup of tea for Sakshi, who described it as "very tasty". She said Sehwag's gesture of being a guest and offering tea to the host was "really sweet". "He also gave a helping hand to me in cooking. He grated some radish and carrots. I think he has a keen interest in cooking," said the actress.
