‘I eat fewer tomatoes now’

Commenting on how people think he’s a superstar so inflation doesn’t affect celebs like him, Suniel had told the website, “We believe in eating fresh produce so my wife Mana only buys vegetables for a day or two. The price of tomatoes has skyrocketed and it has affected us as well.”

He added, “If you look at the prices on these apps, you will be shocked, they’re much cheaper than getting tomatoes from markets. I order from apps because they sell fresh produce. They even tell you where the vegetables were grown and how farmers benefit.

Given that the tomato prices had affected the aam janta last year, they were surprised to see the actor get candid about using fewer tomatoes in cooking. “I have always been one for bargaining because I am also a hotelier. But inflation and rising prices affect the quality of food. Even I have no choice but to compromise on taste now.”

Upcoming work

Suniel was last seen in the OTT film Operation Fryday which streamed on Zee 5 in 2023. He will soon be seen in Welcome to the Jungle, apart from Hera Pheri 3. The former is directed by Ahmed Khan and the latter will be directed by Farhad Samji. Both the films’ release dates are yet to be announced.
