Known as Punjabi Kings XI back then, the team was in South Africa, where the tournament was held in the year 2009 and Zinta had promised to make the players aloo parathas if they managed to win the upcoming fixture.
“First time I realised, how much do you boys eat!
“We were in South Africa, and they did not serve good paranthas at the hotel. Then I told them, ‘I will teach you all how to make aloo parantha'", Zinta said.
“Seeing that, the boys asked if I could make aloo paranthas for them too?"
“I told them that, I will make aloo paranthas if they win the next match," she elaborated.
“They won it. Then I made 120 aloo paranthas for the team. After that, I have stopped making aloo paranthas," the evergreen actress said in a jovial tone.
