The founders of 6 Indian startups including Zomato's Deepinder Goyal and Pankaj Chaddah, Flipkart co-founder Sachin Bansal, Snapdeal co-founder Kunal Bahl, Paytm founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma, Quikr founder Pranay Chulet, and Inmobi co-founder Abhay Singhal received NDTV's Indian of the Year Award (and also took a selfie with Dr. Prannoy Roy and actress Deepika Padukone). They told their stories of struggle and success, and dreams unlimited. Zomato's Deepinder Goyal shockingly remarked that he doesn't get to eat out a lot. He explained, "If I get sick I can't go to office the next day, and I can't afford that."The cat's out of the bag now!

And guess what? We also found out what the rest of the stars in attendance love to devour. After all, food is the one common love that transcends everything.Scroll down to find out...Ranveer Singh"Mutton, mutton, mutton!" exclaimed Bajirao Mastani's Ranveer Singh. This superstar surely loves all things mutton, as well as Nutella and Indian-Chinese food. The 30-year old actor checked in for the awards on Tuesday and was the life of the party, no doubt. He even broke into an impromptu jig with politician Farooq Abdullah on stage and sang for Deepika Padukone who was a vision in silvery white. Unfortunately, she was not available for comment.

The former Indian cricketer and captain of the Indian National Team also enjoys Biryani, Alu Posto, Chingri Macher Malaikar, and always starts his day with a cup of tea.
Irrfan KhanNDTV 's Actor of The Year "loves Thai food". And who can blame the 49-year-old Life of Pi and Lunchbox star? It's our weakness too!Mohammad Kaif"Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day.
