A source close to Nusrat told news agency IANS, "The cuisine was a mix of Italian, Bengali, pure vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The vegetarian section was being planned carefully keeping her in-laws' (who are Jains) guest list in mind. But the actress took care of the Bengali food section as she loves hilsa, prawn and bhetki preparations."
