For some dope on Neil Nitin Mukesh that you may not know... The charming actor is an excellent cook, and loves to spend time in the kitchen when he is not shooting. Neil reveals, 'I love to cook but when I cook I want everything perfect. I put on an apron. I have all the vegetables cut in front of me the right way. They should be placed rightly on the platform. I need the right vessel spoons and forks.'

So what does he love cooking? He quickly replies 'I love making cheese fondue but of late I'm not allowed to indulge in such foods as I am trying to lose weight for my role in JAIL.'

Never mind his bawarchi ways in the kitchen, when we ask Neil about what's cooking on the personal front...the love platform, you know... he says there's something 'smoking hot', but leaves the revelation for a later date.
