Pratick Chaudharry: 2020 made all of us pick up the brooms, and mops, clean every corner of the house and whatnot, and to be very honest I did all. But one thing I did the most during lockdown was cooking. And guess what? I enjoyed it. I tried and experimented with many things which turned out to be real good. Cooked for myself and my family. So this is the one thing I plan to continue. Whenever I get time I'll make sure I cook something for myself and my family and try and experiment with different cuisines too.
Abhinandan Jindal: I used to wash my car daily during the lockdown but recently I met with a very severe accident in which I got saved but lost my car as it got crushed. So now whenever I buy a new car, I will continue washing it, even if I have some help at home.
Subuhii Joshii: The chore that I picked up was cooking because I was trying to lose weight so I thought I will cook my meals and it helped me in the process of losing weight and I will continue doing it forever. I have everything now, my house help also comes, but still, I prepare my meals so that I know how much I am eating so I will continue doing that.
Saanand Verma: I started cleaning during the lockdown and would sweep my whole house. It was fun and now I have made it a routine. It feels like I am a part of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan.
Manit Joura: Right from washing utensils to mopping the floor, watering the plants, giving bath to the pets, dusting, and every possible thing I did because there was no house help. I used to feel that it's a difficult task but then I realised it's very therapeutic. I devoted a lot of time at home. I saw my plants growing during the lockdown, it was such a satisfying feeling. Having said that all these things kept me away from social media and I strongly wanted to stay away from social media. During lockdown I got some things done and you can say I am a homemaker now and I have huge respect for all the homemakers, the ladies of our houses, as it's a tough job and we don't appreciate them enough. It's not everyone's cup of tea so this lockdown made me realise to not be dependent and I am self-sufficient now. Even when I go abroad I do things by myself and the same thing I applied here also and I am not ashamed about it.
Vijayendra Kumeria: Well 2020 was the most unexpected year, and it's not like that I have never done the household chores before, but during the lockdown, I started cooking, and now I try to make one full meal every day. I am not a great cook, but recipes on YouTube and Google help, and thanks to 2020 I think I will continue cooking.
Sharad Malhotra: This year, during the lockdown, my wife and I have cleaned every nook and corner of the house, from cleaning utensils to dusting and mopping, we did everything. But what I have continued is helping my wife in doing the dishes post-dinner. Even if I come late from the shoot, I help her out. Also, when I have an off, I make tea for her. And it's a good habit that I have picked up on.
Aniruddh Dave: I was always a cleanliness freak but because of the lockdown and the pandemic I have become more particular about it. So, this is something that I will continue. I wash my hands frequently now when touching surfaces at home or handling the raw food or after using the bathroom. Every time we step out we keep a sanitiser handy.
Kettan Singh: The pandemic and the lockdown has made us realise the importance of friends and family. So, now I try to talk to my relatives and friends quite often. I have realised that even a 'hello, how are you?' can change someone's day, so I try to do that.
Sucheeta Trivedi: During the lockdown, I spent my days learning typical 'Patel' delicacies that my husband loves. And even now, when I have an off or I come back home early from the shoot, I make whatever I can. Also, when sometimes I have planned that I am going to cook something, then my husband and I go grocery shopping too. And I am going to continue this habit.
Yesha Rughani: During the lockdown, I learned various art forms like Mithila painting, Warli art, Lipan art, to name a few. So now whenever I get time, I try to do something creative and spend my day painting. It's a great stress-buster and being creative is always good.
Rajshri Rani: During the lockdown, I was with my parents and I spent a lot of time reading books. I was never an avid reader, but books have become my best friend now.
