She also revealed that if she had to pack a tiffin for her husband Suriya she would pack a typical south indian fare with dosa, idli, sambhar , vada, pongal etc, the reason being that he usually doesn’t get to eat it as he’s on diet.

They have different lunch timings. One likes non-veg a lot and the other likes veg. So it’s always a variation. But today’s food like pasta etc so it is basically homemade .non-veg and Italian”
