Deepika Padukone's cooking lessons on the Aarakshan set

Knowing how to make a perfect round Roti is a basic skill that is deemed a must-know by any Indian girl, even a successful star like Deepika Padukone.

Deepika had to make roties in the movie Aarakshan, for a song sequence. Not knowing that the sequence involved her ‘actually' making a roti, she froze on being presented with loose flour. With the whole unit waiting for her to do the action, Deepika just stood there.

As with most girls' first attempts of making the simple roti, Deepika's also came out in abstract shapes, sizes and maps of unknown countries. Seeing her comical trials and her gradually getting covered in white flour, Saif came to her rescue with not much success. Finally Prakash Jha came up with an innovative shortcut to a perfectly round roti.

Prakash Jha commented, "It was nothing major. Deepika was pretty comfortable in the kitchen. I just helped her a little bit."

Saif Ali Khan commented, "It was interestingly funny, reminded me of the scene in Kaalia, where Amit ji helps Parveen Babi ji to make an egg. (laughs) thank god it wasn't an egg for Deepika."

Deepika Padukone commented, " I was so embarrassed, I can totally cook but roti is a challenge. As with life the most simplest of things some times get to be a hardest to master."
