In his latest Instagram entry, Vir Das showcased a plate full of his "cheat meal." What did he eat, you ask? Well, Vir Das enjoyed an Italian feast, but with a desi twist. How so? He presented all the Italian delicacies in a traditional desi steel plate with partitions. On his plate, we could see two slices of pizza topped with cheese and pepperoni. Next to them was toasted bread accompanied by a side of salsa dip. A dollop of peanut butter and a serving of watermelon tomato salad garnished with mint leaves were also visible. Additionally, there seemed to be mango pickle for that tangy touch. In the caption, Vir Das wrote, “Cheat meal. ITHAALIAN.”
