Chandan Roy Sanyal reveals one thing that he learnt from Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Saif Ali Khan

Chandan Roy Sanyal is one of the most talented actors of Bollywood. With his performances in movies like Kaminey, F.A.L.T.U, Jazbaa, Chef, and Jab Harry Met Sejal, the actor has impressed one and all.

He has shared screen space with stars like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (Jazbaa), Shah Rukh Khan (Jab Harry Met Sejal) and Saif Ali Khan (Chef). We recently met Chandan and asked him about what’s one thing that he has learnt from these stars while working with them. To which the actor said, “One thing that I learnt from them is humility and their professionalism. They are movie stars and people have a kind of an image about them. But it really takes a lot of hard work to be there, to look right, to feel right, to say it right, to do it right and that needs a lot of preparation and mehnat (hard work). So, when I was working with Saif or Mr. Khan (SRK) or Aishwarya, they were pretty professional, they did the scenes exactly how I wanted it to be. I come from a theatre, so I needed a lot of rehearsals before the scene and Mr. Khan or Saif, never shied away from giving me a rehearsal. So yeah, I think what I would take back home their humility and professionalism.”

Communal tables are back – and Gen Z is leading the way

Highlights:

  • Communal dining tables are becoming popular again, especially among Gen Z.
  • Surveys show younger diners enjoy meeting strangers, while many older diners prefer privacy.
  • Shared tables help tackle loneliness and encourage real-life conversation in a digital age.
  • Restaurants are adapting with supper clubs, shared platters and “come alone” nights.
  • The trend reflects a wider shift toward connection, experience and affordable social dining.

Walk into a place to eat and there is just one huge table. Everyone there is a stranger, talking, laughing, passing bowls around like they already know each other. For some older diners, the setup feels odd. It can come across as too open, almost like someone stepping into your personal space. But younger diners see it differently. For Gen Z, that setup is the fun part, the chance that the person next to you might turn into a friend, or at least a good conversation.

A 2025 Resy survey shows a clear generational split: 90% of Gen Z enjoy communal tables, compared with 60% of Baby Boomers. Beyond numbers, the social benefits are real; making friends, striking up conversations, even finding a date. For a generation often described as “the loneliest,” dining together offers a rare sense of connection.
