Television actress Sakshi Tanwar and former cricketer Virender Sehwag bonded over food and tea during the shooting of a cookery show.
Sakshi, who hosts a food show titled “Tyohaar Ki Thaali” for Epic channel, had the cricketer over for a special episode.
On her experience of cooking with Sehwag, Sakshi said in a statement: “It was very nice to have Virendra on my show. He came and shared a lot of his memories.
“He was saying how his mother used to pack ‘gond ke laddoo’ for him whenever he went for any tournament and the size of the laddoo used to be as big as a cricket ball. Since he used to not have a lot of food during the match, he used to happily fill his stomach with one laddoo and one litre of milk.”
Sehwag also prepared a cup of tea for Sakshi, who described it as “very tasty”. She said Sehwag’s gesture of being a guest and offering tea to the host was “really sweet”.
“He also gave a helping hand to me in cooking. He grated some radish and carrots. I think he has a keen interest in cooking,” said the actress.

Rupali wants son to be farmer
Actress Rupali Ganguly, known for shows like “Sarabhai vs Sarabhai” an “Parvarrish” says she wants her son to be a farmer.
Rupali said in a statement: “Rudransh is too young to decide what he wants to be when he grows up. I would love it if my son becomes a farmer in today’s day and age.
“Everyone wants to reach corporate high points and make a mark in showbiz via sports or films… The glamour is definitely enticing, but I really want him to be a farmer – ‘farmers nahi honge toh khayenge kya’ (if we don’t have farmers how will we get food to eat)”.
“Even the farmers’ new generations today don’t want to carry on farming, but that is my thought. His father wants him to become a military man like his grandfather… that is his wish. And my little Rudransh wants to become a jeep driver at the moment,” she added.
