Sonakshi turns teekhi mirchi!
Ajay Devgn loves being a prankster. He teamed up with Sanjay Dutt to challenge their “Son Of Sardaar” co-star Sonakshi Sinha to eat a few chillies on the movie’s set, and the actress was daring enough to accept the challenge.

Sonakshi is known to have a sweet tooth, but to everyone’s surprise, she ate 10 red chillies in one go.
A source close to the team said: “Sonakshi had just started shooting in Patiala with the rest of the crew and Ajay decided to play a prank on her. So Sanju baba and Ajay went to Sonakshi and challenged her to eat few chillies at once. Sonakshi started laughing and accepted the task.”
Now that’s some sporting behaviour!
