Nushrratt Bharuccha says she chose to not learn cooking after seeing mother in the kitchen: ‘Microwave me bhi khaana banaungi toh…'
Nushrratt Bharuccha has been quite vocal about her life and choices. While growing up in a liberal household, she consciously chose not to conform to society's expectation of a girl knowing how to cook. In a recent conversation, Bharuccha, 39, shared, 'While growing up, I don't think I have ever had any of those things that I have had to question, fight, or break. The maximum I am telling you is about cooking. Mom is a housewife. So, I have seen my mom in the kitchen all my life. And subconsciously, it was imprinted in my mind that if I learn how to cook, then I would be limited to the kitchen. Not out of anything else, but out of basic things that she makes good tea, make one more cup. Can you make today's food?' So, by default, the Chhorii 2 actor 'didn't want to learn'. 'I don't know how to cook. Microwave me bhi khaana banaungi toh jala dungi…(Even if I heat it in the microwave, I will burn it). Zero skill sets in the kitchen. And I chose it,' she told Hauterrfly. While it does work for her, Dr Chandni Tugnait, psychotherapist, director, Gateway of Healing, said that it's important to reflect on the deeper value of life skills, such as cooking, that often get overlooked. She also mentioned that, more than the gendered aspect, acquiring life skills like cooking isn't just about practicality; it's about empowering yourself. Gaining independence in managing basic tasks can reduce stress, boost self-worth, and provide a sense of control over your life, stressed Dr Tugnait. 'Being able to care for oneself by preparing meals boosts self-esteem and confidence and reduces dependence on others. This develops emotional resilience and creates a sense of autonomy, essential for mental well-being,' said Dr Tugnait. She also mentioned that learning practical skills like cooking promotes mindfulness and serves as an outlet for stress. 'It encourages creativity, patience, and problem-solving, which positively impact emotional health,' said Dr Tugnait. However, to each her own. Dr Tugnait emphasised that while choosing not to be limited to the kitchen is a mindful choice, it is essential to be open to learning basic skills so that you can take care of your needs.

Bollywood actress Soha Ali Khan, on Thursday, shared a rare and delightful moment of her cooking in the kitchen. Taking to Instagram, the 'Chhorii 2' actress posted two images of herself where she is seen cooking in the kitchen. While she didn't reveal much about the dish she was cooking, Soha joked that it is actually her in the kitchen—not AI. The actress captioned the post, 'Yes, it's me. No, it's not AI - I cooked!! #raresighting.' In the images, the 'Rang De Basanti' actress is seen smiling while posing for the camera. In an interview during the promotions of 'Chhorii 2,' Soha Ali Khan candidly admitted that cooking isn't her strong suit. She revealed that it's her husband, actor Kunal Kemmu, who takes charge in the kitchen. The actress also mentioned that in the photos she shares on social media, she's often just pretending to be doing something. Joking about her confusion between salt and sugar, Soha highlighted how clueless she can be when it comes to cooking.

The 'Tum Mile' actress stated, 'I actually don't know how to cook anything. I was just staring at it. And I was pretending to do something. Is this salt or sugar? Tell me. So, I put this in. Kunal is the cook in our family. More than me, Inaya can cook. She makes great chapatis.'

Soha Ali Khan relates to Deepika Padukone's 8-hour shift demand for Spirit: 'If you don't pack up with me, I'll run off'
Soha Ali Khan, who recently made her acting comeback with Chhorii 2, backed Deepika Padukone's demand for an 8-hour work shift for Spirit. In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Soha Ali Khan shared how she lost her sense of identity during motherhood. While supporting Deepika Padukone, the Tum Mile actress recalled her initial motherhood phase that changed her entire life instantly. The actress said, "I lost my entire identity in motherhood. I lost my friends, I temporarily lost my husband. I forgot everything." She went on to mention how she chose to embrace motherhood at 38. "I chose to have Inaaya (her daughter) late as well, when I was 38. Because I understood it's going to happen. I tend to do one thing very passionately. So for the first three years, it was all about her, to the extent that I had to find balance again. But that's my personality. So I understood that work and friendship would take a back seat." Soha Ali Khan emphasized that she is now striving to achieve a work-life balance. She also reminisced about how she had cried on the sets, as she hadn't seen her baby all day. "By 7 p.m. I start getting anxious because it's my bedtime ritual with her. So even when I was on set, I burst into tears once because we were in Rajasthan, shooting, and I hadn't seen her all day," expressed Soha. Soha Ali Khan highlights being very sympathetic towards new mothers The 46-year-old lent her support to Deepika Padukone, highlighting that she understands well where Deepika comes from. "I am very sympathetic to new mums and their needs. I totally understand where Deepika is coming from. At 7, if you don't pack up with me, I'll run off. I'm sure some people will be like, 'Don't hire her (Soha) because she could be tough—she's going to want to run home after 7.' That was a career hit I was ready to take at 38, after achieving a lot," concluded the Rang De Basanti actress. Besides Soha, Neha Dhupia also supported Deepika's demand, mentioning that when a big personality like Deepika takes such a step, it sets a great narrative for others in the business as well. For the unversed, Deepika Padukone left Sandeep Reddy Vanga's directorial Spirit, starring Prabhas in the lead, due to a few demands, which also included an 8-hour work shift. The actress then went on to sign Allu Arjun-Atlee's big-budget movie, A22×A6.
