10 Bollywood celebs with food items named after them

A recent example would be when a dosa was named after 'Padmaavat' actor Deepika Padukone

The popularity enjoyed by celebrities is all-pervasive, so much so that some of them have dishes and drinks after them. A recent example would be a popular café in London that has named one of its beverages after Vicky Donor actor Yami Gautam.

But of course, she is not the only one. As compiled from Mid-day, here are other Bollywood celebrities who, strange as it may seem, have food items named after them.

Bebo is said to have a soft corner for pizzas. That’s why, when an Italian joint set up shop in Delhi, it came up with one called Kareena Kapoor Size-Zero Pizza.

This was during the time of Bebo’s film Tashan’s release, when her ultra-slim body was the talk of the town. The size-zero pizza has a thin crust pizza topped with diced chicken, red chilies, baby corn, onions and low fat cheese.
