Aakash Chopra Spends Staggering ‘7 lakhs’ on a Meal in Indonesia

Recently, he was in Indonesia to enjoy a vacation there. Indonesia is known as one of the affordable exotic holiday tourism spots for middle-class Indian families because of the relatively lower currency. But for Chopra however, it was a rather expensive affair.

Renowned cricket analyst and Hindi cricket commentator Aakash Chopra enjoys a large following pertaining to his competent in-depth analysis skill of the game and captivating Hindi commentary. He also launched his own mobile application to update his fans with his expertise of the game and everything related to upcoming fixtures, etc.

Recently, he was in Indonesia to enjoy a vacation there. Indonesia is known as one of the affordable exotic holiday tourism destinations for middle-class Indian families because of the relatively lower currency; but for Chopra however, it was a rather expensive affair or at least he deceived his followers into believing so.

In a tweet, he revealed his food bill at one of the restaurants in Bali which amounted approximately to a staggering seven lakh Indonesian rupiah. His food bill which indicated the restaurant named ‘Indian Tandoor’ comprised of five different Indian delicacies and three bottles of water.

Fans took to Twitter to respond on the matter, some responded with humour while some were left furious – many were left baffled as to how could a meal cost such a fortune in Bali, but in reality, seven lakh Rupiah of Indonesian currency translates to approximately thirty-five hundred INR.  Chopra pranked his followers into believing otherwise, and that caused a stir among netizens. 

Translates to approx. 3500 in Indian rupees 🙂

Thankfully, for the relief of most fans, he revealed it was just “Thoda fun and laughter” in his tweets, a prank to deceive a bill which actually amounted to approximately thirty-five hundred in Indian rupees as opposed to ‘seven lakhs’.
