Did you know that certain celebs, who rule the screen with their perfect smiles and ten-on-ten bodies, can also floor you with their culinary skills? While celebs like Akshay Kumar and Kangna Ranaut are well known as fab chefs, there are those like Aishwarya and Deepika who aren’t far behind. Here are some superstars who feel at home in their kitchen.
Akshay Kumar: Our favourite khiladi is a true foodie and loves all things food, especially Thai. The actor loves the delicious Thai chicken curry and can also whip up some mean dishes. In an interview earlier this year, he stated that food is one of “life’s most genuine pleasures and tastiest necessities”. The host of MasterChef India, who has also worked as a chef, loves to experiment with flavours and textures, and also showcased his culinary skills on the small screen.
Kangana Ranaut: A modest background and conservative upbringing have equipped Kangna with culinary skills that are par excellence. The actress who learnt to cook at a very young age, continues to wear the apron even after charting a successful Bollywood career. Earlier this year, it was reported that she cooked a palatable meal for the entire cast and crew of her new film in Paris. Now isn’t that some kind of generosity?
Padma Laxmi: The Indian-born American hottie, former model, actress, cookbook author and the host of the hit series Top Chef is a well known foodie, famous for her epicurean adventures. The leggy lass’ love for food has enabled her to be part of enumerable food-related shows, including those that involve tastings and travelling. Her flavour-filled experiences can be witnessed in her cookbooks.
Abhishek Bachchan: Abhishek Bachchan is an awesome cook, but it is a lesser known fact. Apparently, he can make some amazing chicken curry and believes that cooking is a stress buster. The actor is the face of prestige home appliances along with wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Kareena Kapoor: Kareena has found a new passion in the kitchen and if reports are to be believed, the newlywed Mrs. Kapoor Khan loves cooking. She can dish out some yummy delicacies for her family and friends. We guess it means wedded bliss as well.
Asha Bhonsle: The legendary singer with a career that spanned over 60 years is an excellent cook too. Her love for food has led her to open the chain of restaurants – Asha’s. Many vouch for the fact that the coveted singer is a good cook and can whip up a variety of delish dishes. Her expertise and experience have taken her far and wide. She has a large fan following for her voice as well as her cooking.
Shipa Shetty: Shilpa is a great cook and that is a well known fact. Recently, when hubby Raj Kundra was interviewed by a magazine, he promptly vouched for the fact that Shilpa was an excellent homemaker and cooked amazing food. In fact, he went on to describe how surprised his friends were when Mrs. Kundra prepared a delicious chicken curry meal for them.
Deepika Padukone: Deepika believes that she is a really good cook and went on to say in an interview that her mum has domesticated her well. She also claimed that she is probably the only actress who can cook. Well, we think she has competition!
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan: A web portal reported that the former Miss World, actress, wife and mom to 2-year-old Aaradhya, Aishwarya is an amazing cook. Hubby Abhishek loves the desserts she prepares. Ash stated that the kitchen is a familiar space for her. Being brought up in a Mangalorean household and helping her mom cook has added to her culinary skills.
