Ashanti Chooses Junk Over Spice

26 October 2004

R&B star Ashanti reportedly took American food to India because she hates spicy food.

The stunning singer was in India playing a songstress in the Bollywood movie adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice", but chose American junk food in lieu of curries and samosas.

Ashanti said: "I had popcorn, Pringles, Gummi Bears, Oodles Of Noodles, cookies, Doritos - I pigged out!"

She also said that she is ecstatic over her first movie role, which has since led to her winning a part in the new film "Coach Carter".

Ashanti said: "It was sort of like a warm-up for me, an introduction to movies. It was a lot like making a music video, because I had to sing and learn choreography."
