Did you know popular Youtuber Ranveer Allahbadia learnt cooking from Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi?

Well known chef and restaurateur Harpal Singh Sokhi, who is known for his famous phrase 'Namak Shamak’ has his own YouTube channel which has been running for 15 years. It’s a long time to sustain with good content amidst so much competition. As we have all noticed - during and after COVID-19, hundreds of cooking related YouTube channels emerged. So has Chef Harpal ever felt threatened by them? He says, "During and post-Covid, I must say with a slight chuckle that everyone has become a chef and everyone wants to teach chefs as well—that's just how it goes. I firmly believe that those who have been on the big screen will always remain big. For example, Shah Rukh Khan need not worry about having a YouTube channel or not. On the other hand, someone like CarryMinati, who has a YouTube channel, might find it challenging to transition to blockbuster films on the big screen. We belong to the world of big screens and larger-than-life personas. We enjoy having followers and creating valuable content. Therefore, we don't feel threatened by others, as we put our heart and soul into what we do. YouTube is not a revenue stream for us; it's merely a marketing tool. We believe that business creates enterprise value, not YouTube. We don't perceive any threats from anyone. Many young creators with fewer than 1000 followers reach out to collaborate with me, and I always oblige because I want to support their growth and development.”
Interestingly in a recent episode of You Tuber Ranveer Allahbadia mentioned to his guest Diljit Dosanjh, how Ranveer has taught cooking while watching Chef Harpal Singh Sodhi’s video. Chef says,"Yes, BeerBiceps mentioned on his podcast that he learned recipes from me and followed my work, and it's very nice of him to honestly commend that. When you approach things with honesty, you receive love from people all over the country. He also mentioned that I was one of the first YouTubers in the country. When we create content, our objective is to help people understand how they can contribute to making India a healthier nation. We aim to provide accurate information and promote a healthy lifestyle through cooking, which we believe is easier to achieve at home. We believe that cooking more at home leads to healthier families, and that's our objective.”

Vaishali Made: Sustaining love and marriage in such a climate can pose challenges

With relationships taking a backseat in the lives of many of us, singer Vaishali Made says that love can conquer all if one is patient. She adds that this is very important to be able to sustain love today. “Living in an era where individuality shines brightly is an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. I feel that personal uniqueness is a chance for individuals to embrace their passions, dreams, and identities. While it's true that sustaining love and marriage in such a climate can pose challenges, I believe that these challenges can be overcome with love, patience, and understanding,” she says.
Professional pressure has resulted in a very fast pace of life, she says, adding, “Regarding the fast pace of life driven by professional pressure, I acknowledge the hustle and bustle but remains optimistic about finding moments of love amidst the chaos. By prioritizing what truly matters and making conscious efforts to nurture relationships, individuals can still find joy and fulfilment in their romantic connections.”
Meanwhile, technology also effects interpersonal growth, she says, adding, “When it comes to the impact of technology on relationships, I believe in the power of human connection to transcend digital distractions. While acknowledging the prevalence of smartphones even in intimate settings like the bedroom, I encourage couples to set boundaries and prioritize quality time together. Technology is a tool that should enhance rather than hinder relationships, and I remain hopeful that couples can find a balance that allows for genuine connection,” she says.
She adds, “As for the lack of "me-time" making it difficult to prioritize others, I see it as an opportunity for self-reflection and growth. While acknowledging the importance of self-care, I believe that investing in oneself ultimately strengthens one's ability to show up for others. By finding harmony between personal needs and the needs of loved ones, individuals can cultivate deeper and more meaningful relationships.”

Love what you Do, and you'll never work a day: Sukoon on her passion for acting

Daily soaps are nothing less than a full-time job, but when you love your job, it becomes more fun and less work. And the same is true for actor Sukoon, who is seen as Anusha in Ravindra Gautam and Raghuvir Shekhawat’s Dahej Daasi, which is produced under their banner Do Dooni 4 Films. The actress says that though being on a daily soap hardly allows for long vacations, she doesn’t mind it, because her job is all that she has wanted ever since she was a child.
"I have always wanted to become an actor since my childhood, so I don’t generally crave any holiday, so I would love to answer this question with the hook line of this song. I am on vacation every single day because I love my occupation,” she said.A self-confessed night owl, she doesn’t even mind doing night shoots. “I love doing night shoots,and when you’re dedicated enough,you don’t feel sleepy at all. In fact, I am a night owl, so I prefer doing night shoots,” she said.
And though Sukoon agrees that a daily soap does mean a daily grind and that it can be physically very exhausting, especially with the summer heat, she feels a good meal can fix all that.“If you take a proper meal, you won’t feel any exhaustion, sleep, or whatever. It’s just that you need to know how to manage and maintain your body, and moreover, When you want to make the dinner of your audience finger-licking for them,you start enjoying your character and don’t feel any kind of enervation,” she ended.

Parimal Bhattacharya: For true actors, shoot time is personal time as they are doing what they love

If you love your job, your work feels like fun, says actor Parimal Bhattacharya. The actor, who plays the role of Naresh Parmar in Mrinal Abhigyan Jha Productions Janani- AI Ki Kahani on Dangal TV, says that for him no schedule is hectic.“True actors are passionate about their art and shoot time is also their personal time, since they are doing what they enjoy doing. The same is true for me. No schedule is hectic for me as long as I'm acting,” he says.He adds, “I'm fond of shoots, whether night or day. Like all successful professionals, actors also need to maintain a disciplined lifestyle and health regime. I've heard our PM sleeps for only 4 hours a day. Since he maintains great lifestyle, look at his energy! I also maintain a healthy lifestyle and very well cope with long shoot hours.”
He says that you need to make sure you are healthy. “A healthy lifestyle helps in managing both physical and mental health. Balanced diet, daily exercise and short but sound sleep are the key,” he adds.The actor adds that he is always grateful for the work that he gets. “An actor is an actor, whether in a daily soap, or cinema, theatre or webseries. Getting an opportunity to work is precious, one should be thankful for the same instead of counting hardships. Imagine, the kind of hardship an actor can go through in absence of work! Any show can be good, outstanding or bad, whether it's a soap, cinema or any other. It's true that TV provides financial stability, for those who get substantial number of days' work. All of us, whether an actor, director, camera person, makeup artist, set designer, or any one in the team, must remember that the more one is equipped, the more humble and approachable one will be. Only empty vessels sound much. Unfortunately, some players in our industry believe in boasting and show off, but these habits harm themselves in the long run. Be thankful to God and love His people, you'll lead a happy and contented life,” he says.
Some actors dislike being labelled a TV actor and Parimal says that he doesn’t like being labelled as well, irrespective of the medium. “I think that's just a perception, a good actor will act well everywhere. There are actors who are doing good work simultaneously in all media. It's true, some industry players do tag the actors, but that's not fair,” he says.
He adds, “Television may not provide the stardom as cinema does, but it provides opportunity to connect with your audience at emotional level. You visit their homes every evening, they look at you as if you're part of their lives. Secondly, since the units are not very big, you develop personal rapport with all departments, which results is great teamwork. You can approach anyone and everyone including the director, DOP, Sound recordist, and clear all your queries. That helps in performing your best and that's in the best interest of the show as well.”
