Want to dine with ‘Bigg Boss’ star Gauhar Khan in Dubai

Published

If you are an Indian telly addict, then Gauhar Khan needs no introduction. The charismatic model-turned-actress, who hit the reality show jackpot after winning the famed ‘Bigg Boss’ title, is arguably the most popular Indian TV celeb today.

Whether it was her much-televised public spat with the boisterous Tanisha Mukherjee or her no-hols-barred romance with Kushal Tandon, Gauhar remained unapologetically unrehearsed, in a show that’s infamous for promoting fakers.

While her genuineness won her the title, and her man of dreams Kushal Tandon, it also won her undying adulation.

Her Twitter fan following of 118K is just a small indication of what a huge impact she has made in such a short span of time.
Today, she finds it tough to step out without being mobbed, or being incessantly photographed. “It’s tough at times,” she confesses, but gratifying nevertheless.

She’s hoping to translate some of that goodwill into creating patrons for her older sister Zakia Jeelani’s new Italian restaurant in Jumeirah.

Gauhar, a self-confessed foodie, will dine with her fans at Le Duplex tomorrow.

“It’s just a small treat for her fans,” beams Zakia, who details how it is open to anyone who will make a reservation.

“The slots are fast selling out, but we still have a few seats left, so hurry.” She adds that for Dh150, her fans will be treated to a four-course meal and a chance to dine with the star.

This isn’t Zakia’s first food venture. Before Le Duplex, she along with partners Shaista, Sameena, Shabana, Suhana and Shanveer, started an Italian café named Café Rumi at Business Bay.

Gauhar, who jetted into Dubai a couple of days ago, has been busy promoting the eatery ever since.

“I’m actually on a holiday, but this is what I am doing… giving interviews,” she laughs.

“I’m just happy that I can be here and support her in some way or the other. And, create a little buzz for her. And, that’s what family does.”

So, all you die-hard Gauhar Khan fans, this is what you’ve been waiting for - dial 050 190 5803 or 056 608 4004 to book your dinner date with the reality star.
