Why Do Stars Cook At Home? For Publicity?!

No script. No Direction. No makeup. No outdoor setting. Everything indoor. Stars swing into action. Movies come out instantly. Every movie becomes a hit. Thanks to Covid-19 lockdown. This is the season for shortest videos. Matinee Idols stand top in using them. Film stars, otherwise, are averse to making their private lives public. If any website or YouTube channel writes something private of these celebrities, warnings are given and notices are served to its owner. It’s strange now. They themselves are posting their private videos through their official accounts in facebook, tiktak, instagram and twitter. Why?

Telugoos has posed the same question to cross section of mobile users, who have all the fun on their on their palm tops. They want look down to earth people to empathise those who are in pandemic distress, keeping away their stardom for a while, said Ms. Jyothi Sharma, a journalism student. She quickly cites the examples of Katrina Kaif, who is found washing utensils and Sara Ali Khan, who has put her cooking skills at display.

Kitchen has always remained women’s ‘Queen-dom’, if not ‘Kingdom’. Men seldom get into it- not because they are barred- but they look it down as women’s job. Covid-19 has made many such ‘Maharajas’ into part-time cooks in their homes. Heroes and other male stars are no exception. Mega star Chiranjeevi prepared perfectly rounded Dosais, Manchu Vishnu cooked delicious biryani and Victory Venkatesh made various dishes with an amazing ease. Videos witnessing these unusual have gone viral

Mr. Narayana, a scientist, found a reason behind the heroes themselves allowing these videos going public: To convey the message ‘Stay Home. When the stars are at home, their fans follow the suit.

Beyond these conclusions, one reason seems to be certain: they need to be lingering on the minds of the audiences, till their movies in making hit big screens. This may take a few more months due to lockdowns.
