This is what happens when you mix business with pleasure. Once upon a time, Bollywood stars Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif were a real-life couple, and everything between them was happy and rosy. Then, they broke up. Everybody in Bollywood knew they had broken, up, but that didn't stop the producers of 'Jagga Jasoos' to cast them as romantic partners together. That was a questionable decision - and it didn't go very well for them.
Both Kapoor and Kaif agreed to play the parts, and turned up for work, but allegedly wouldn't exchange a word between each other unless required to do so on camera. The script called for the two to kiss, but Kapoor apparently told the director that it was out of the question, and he wasn't going to do it. We can't decide who's more at fault here - the casting director for choosing them to play the roles, or the two actors for agreeing to do it. Actually, seeing as Kaif was willing to perform the kiss, we're going to have to blame Kapoor.
Chefs made their way into celebrity land a while ago. But how many celebrities that weren’t trained as professional cooks are actually whizzes in the kitchen? Here are several that come to mind.
Actress Julia Roberts is confident about her cooking skills. “I’m quite a good cook,” she told E! News. “I’m like a closet home ec teacher…I can really cook anything.” Roberts has said she often cooks fish for herself and her kids. And speaking of her three children, “They think that I’m a good cook,” Roberts told People. “They actually told me that I should open a restaurant.” She also relishes cooking for the holidays, particularly shredded Brussel sprouts. Roberts hasn’t published a cookbook, but we did find recipes attributed to her for peach crisp and banana hemp muffins. Or you can make the same summer salad the actress supposedly eats.
Chrissy Teigen started off as a supermodel. Then her love of cooking filtered into her professional life too. At this point, she’s created recipes for a limited Blue Apron release and also just launched her own home and cooking line at Target named “Cravings,” after the two cookbooks she’s released. Teigen describes cooking as “a time of peace” for herself. So maybe peace out to her tuna melt sandwich or the fried chicken wings that are a favorite of her husband, John Legend.
Lady Gaga, whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, comes from a cooking Italian family. Her father started his own restaurant in New York and also published a cookbook. And apparently, Lady Gaga has inherited the family’s cooking genes. Her Instagram account occasionally features photos of her culinary activities. Sure, sometimes it’s topless cooking. But other times it’s more poignant like in the post she shared about her bringing food to the family of her dear friend who passed away. Want to try a Gaga/Germanotta family favorite? Check out her recipe for whole wheat pasta with a sweet fennel sauce.
