Siddhanth Kapoor recounts his trip down grocery lane with actress-sister Shraddha
On Thursday, Shraddha and Siddhanth Kapoor turned grocery-shopping in the midst of a lockdown into a fun adventure. Talking about it, the actor admitted that his sibling and he share many food stories because of their love for food, including shopping trips abroad with their parents. “It’s a personal thing for us to get to decide what the whole family eats,” he revealed.
The duo was careful to follow all the rules, including wearing gloves, masks and sanitising, because, as Siddhanth says, “your safety is everyone else’s safety and vice versa”. Consequently, they went unrecognised out in the open.
Do the two only shop for fruits, veggies and other food items or do they also try their hand at whipping up something delicious?
“We don’t cook together, but separately, we try a lot of things,” admitted Siddhanth, quickly adding that he rarely gets the kitchen to himself. “It’s mostly Shraddha and mom in there. When I do manage to get in, I make sandwiches and French toast.”
The actor marvelled at how pollution levels have gone down since the lockdown and crime rate has also dropped. “People are there for each other with no agenda and without passing judgement,” he pointed out, insisting that getting to spend quality time with the family trumps everything in the end; as they are always on the move usually. “It’s a good time to take care of your elders and get fitter. Shraddha and I play games, go for walks, chat, sing and dance a lot to lighten up the mood. Even after becoming a star, she hasn’t changed one bit.”
Recently, on Brother’s Day, Shraddha had shared pictures of them as kids, with cousin Priyaank Sharma, who is the son of their aunt Padmini Kolhapure-Sharma. They reside in the opposite building from the Kapoors, so whenever they want to meet, Shraddha and Siddhanth step out and meet their cousin outside, keeping social distancing in mind.
Siddhanth wrapped up the Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmistarrer, Chehre, before the lockdown. “There is another big film I was shooting for, and only five days’ shoot was left when work came to a halt,” he informed, refusing to divulge details. “I haven’t accepted any new projects during the lockdown, as I am busy for almost a year, from whenever shooting resumes.”
