“Can’t wait to test my spice meter when I come back”: John Cena talks about relishing Indian food at Ambani wedding
First Published: 5th August, 2024 8:22 IST
He said, "I had a short stay...I would love to go back and be able to try some more Indian food."
John Cena, a 16-time WWE Champion and Hollywood actor in July 2024 visited India to attend the wedding ceremony of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. He was in Mumbai for a short time but he did not miss any chance to explore Indian culture, especially through desi food.
Speaking with ANI over a Zoom video call, Cena recalled treating his taste buds to Indian cuisine at the Ambani wedding. He added a touch of humour to it by saying how he needs to work on his spice tolerance.
“The Ambani wedding had its fair share of cuisine, but they also did Indian food and Indian street food very well. The food was fantastic. I had a short stay…I would love to go back and be able to try some more Indian food. The level of spice was just enough for me, just enough to break a small sweat. So I can’t wait to try to test my spice meter when I come back. I look forward to returning soon,” Cena quipped.
Cena attended the function of Anant and Radhika in a full desi avatar. He donned a powder blue traditional sherwani. He elevated his look with a traditional safa tied on his head in a beautiful shade of white and gold.
On the red carpet, he struck his iconic ‘you can’t see me’ pose, adding a touch of his wrestling persona to the wedding.
Meanwhile, on the acting front, Cena is all set to be seen in Prime Video’s film ‘Jackpot!’, which also features Awkwafina.
Set in Los Angeles in 2030, Jackpot! focuses on Katie (Awkwafina), a struggling actress who wins the lottery without realizing that the state of California grants everyone else until sundown to murder the winner and claim the prize money without consequences. Helping Katie to stay alive is an amateur lottery protection agent (Cena), who gets a cut of the cash if she survives, as per The Hollywood Reporter.
Sharing his experience working with Awkwafina, Cena shared, “Awkwafina is amazing, and her style of comedy is amazing. The environment she creates on set…she’s extremely easy to work with. She is fantastic to work with.”
The film will be out on Prime Video on August 15. (ANI)
