Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra on Sunday (15th July) took micro-blogging site Twitter by storm after he posted the image of a restaurant bill of 7 lakh for one meal that he had with his family.
Yes, that’s right. Aakash Chopra paid 7 L A K H for a single meal.
Here is the post:
” Paid nearly 7 Lac for a meal 🙈🤣😇😂 Welcome to Indonesia,” Aakash Chopra captained the photograph on the Twitter.

Well, no need to raise your eyebrows yet. The amount is not as big as you might be thinking, and Chopra did not spend it in Indian currency.
The former cricketer enjoyed the pure vegetarian Indian meal while on a trip to Indonesia where Re 1 in Indian currency is equivalent to roughly 210 Indonesian Rupiah.
So, 7 lakh in Indonesian currency will work out to less than Rs 3500, which Chopra clarified in another tweet.
Dost, it’s ₹3500 in India.
