We see artists advertising cookies, cold drinks, noodles and pizza burgers. They are also shown consuming it on screen. However, the actors don’t eat or drink all of these things. They just act like they’re eating.
Sometimes a drop or two needs to be added to make the scene realistic. Under these conditions, food stylists prepare alternative dishes. There is no oil, spices, flour and milk in it.
Once, Deepika Padukone had to be shown eating samosa on screen. She made a condition that she would only eat samosa if it did not contain potatoes or flour. Next, the food stylist prepared the samosa using sweet potato and flour.

As if the actors were to be shown drinking alcohol in a scene. This can’t be shown on screen and the actors don’t even agree to do it. In this situation, a drink that resembles alcohol is prepared.
Use water instead of oil for frying The actors give clear instructions that they will not eat food fried in oil. In such a situation, water is used instead of oil. By using water, the vegetables are not in the right shape. Then the work of the food stylist increases. They have to cook the vegetables in a way that they are healthy for the actors and also look good on screen.
Fake meat is made from soybeans, jackfruit and soybeans. In many films, artists are shown eating meat. In most cases, this meat is also fake. Many actors are hesitant to eat meat on camera. Food stylists make them fake meat. Soybeans, jackfruit and soy chaap are used to create fake meat.
Using Fovicol to make the cream layer thick and thick. You’ve probably seen an ad for a pizza or a burger. The cheese and cream presented inside are also fake. Fovicol is used to give a false appearance. For this reason, the cream layer appears thicker and thicker on television.
Potatoes are used to represent ice cream Ice creams shown in movies and advertisements are also fake. According to the philosophy of food stylists, the potatoes are first boiled and then cooled. Then they are crushed well. Then they are given the appearance of ice cream.

Anushka Sharma acted like she was eating pasta on camera Anushka Sharma had to eat pasta for an ad shoot. He refused to eat foods made from flour. Obviously, pasta is prepared only from flour. The food stylist didn’t know which option to keep. Then Anushka understood his problem and placed a bowl next to him. After that, he ate this pasta only during filming. Then as soon as the shot was finished, he spat it back into the bowl.
Instead of the stars, their bodies film the cooking sequence twice. In some films and advertisements, artists are also shown cooking. However, in reality this does not happen. Only his face is used. The movement of the hands doubles their body. This is done for the safety of the actors. Actors must not burn themselves while cooking. No incidents should occur. Apart from that, there is also the question of its timing.
They come on set just to give one or two shots. His body double does the rest of the work.
