At the end of the meal, Neeraj requested for rosogolla and mishti doi, a Telegraph report mentioned. “Neeraj told us, ‘I want to have rosogolla and mishti doi. I love Bengali desserts and have heard about them a lot but have hardly had a chance to try them’,” Sumanta Chakrabarti, corporate chef, Raajkutir, was quoted as saying.

In an earlier interview, the 23-year-old revealed how much he loved sweets, his favourite being homemade churma loaded with ghee and sugar.

For breakfast, he ate luchi and sada aloo torkari, fruits, drank watermelon juice, and had mishti doi.
