The journey into the kitchen can often lead to unexpected adventures, as Bollywood sensation Deepika Padukone recently revealed in a candid video shared with her multitude of followers. Known for her compelling screen performances, Deepika took a step back from the limelight to recount her rather comical initiation into the world of culinary arts.
In the video uploaded on her Instagram stories, Deepika is seen engaging with an interviewer while showcasing her cooking skills. She took this opportunity to tag her best pals, who were co-conspirators in this amusing anecdote. Deepika, with her characteristic charm, recollected that during her first rendezvous with cooking, they had to rely on self-arranged bricks for a cooking fire, displaying an impressive dose of resourcefulness.
With aspirations to concoct a lovely egg dish, the group had meticulously prepared everything required. “Everything was ready, the fire was going, the ingredients were all done. It was the last step, we just had to put the eggs in,” said Deepika. However, as the climax approached and it was time to introduce the eggs into the mix, none were to be found. After a brief moment of collective wondering and questioning, Deepika suggested they simply procure more eggs.
As they all rose from their seated positions on the ground, a sudden realization dawned upon them. “I got up and I realized I had sat on the eggs,” Deepika chuckled. Indeed, her first foray into the culinary realm concluded with an ‘oops’ moment as the prospective eggs for their dish ended up cushioning her sit-down discussion.
Away from the kitchen, Deepika’s life is brimming with excitement as she is expecting her first child with her husband, actor Ranveer Singh, with the due date anticipated in September. The couple divulged the heartwarming news following Deepika’s appearance at the BAFTA awards earlier this year, where some speculated the elegant drape of her saree was artfully concealing a baby bump.
The duo exchanged vows on November 14, 2018, in Italy’s picturesque Lake Como, following a six-year courtship period. They have become one of Bollywood’s most adored couples, often sharing tokens of their affection for one another on social media. It was on the sets of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela’ that their love story commenced, which led to further collaborations in blockbusters like ‘Bajirao Mastani’ and ‘Padmaavat’.
In the realm of their thriving careers, Deepika is currently enjoying the success of Siddharth Anand’s high-octane ‘Fighter’, released on January 25, where she shares the screen with heavyweights Hrithik Roshan, Anil Kapoor, Karan Singh Grover, and Akshay Oberoi. She is also set to appear in the sci-fi action thriller ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ opposite the south Indian superstar Prabhas. Ranveer’s queue includes eagerly awaited features like Farhan Akhtar’s ‘Don 3’ and the power couple will reunite on screen for ‘Singham Again’.
In sharing her first cooking debacle, Deepika not only connected with her fans over the relatable experience of kitchen blunders but also gave a sneak peek into her personal life filled with burgeoning familial joy and continued professional triumphs. This incident, albeit minor, demonstrates that even Bollywood megastars have their fair share of humble and endearing moments.
