Vaibhavi tries her hand at cooking during lockdown

Vaibhavi Shandilya talks to us from her home in Mumbai and says that her normal day begins with workout. “I spend my mornings working out and I have been doing my best to stay in shape during the lockdown. I have also been helping out my mom with household work. The sad part is, one portion of our house is under renovation and we couldn’t use that, so things are dumped and I am hoping to get it done soon,” she says.

The actress turned a year older a couple of months ago and celebrated her birthday under lockdown. “My friends had come to meet me. It certainly wasn’t like every year. This time, we ensured that we practiced social distancing and used hand sanitisers. I hope things get back to normal soon,” she replies.

The actress reveals that she did a photoshoot during quarantine. “A virtual one. Even if not for the lockdown, it could still have been a virtual one because the photographer is from Canada. The shoot was done using an app and I posed for pictures coordinating on Whatsapp from Mumbai. They have come out well,” she adds.

Vaibhavi also took to cooking during the pandemic amidst photoshoots and fitness. “I have made several dishes that could be called signature dishes this lockdown. I made thaalipeeth, which is a famous Maharashtrian cuisine. Daal makhni, butter chicken, egg fried rice, hummus and of course Mumbai’s favourite vada pav and pav bhaji,” she smiles.

On the workfront, Vaibhavi has a Hindi web series titled Chhatrasal. “I also have a Kannada movie titled Gaalipata 2 directed by Yograj Bhatt and has Gold Star Ganesh playing the hero,” she concludes.
