Abhishek Bannerjee, Pataal Lok’s Serial Killer Loves Cooking For His Wife!

Casting director, actor Abhishek Bannerjee, currently basking in  the  success  of the series Paatal   Lok, likes  nothing better than to cook for his wife Tina Noronha

“My wife loves  the food I make. She gets  upset when  I don’t  cook. I love cooking since my college days.I used to impress girls by making the best Maggie possible.All fried and non-healthy of course. Now I’ve graduated to biryani, turkish roti and Afghani omelette .I’m handling  80 percent   of   the kitchen  during this lockdown.Cooking while doing promotion interviews,”  says Abhishek.

The  current isolation is helping Bannerjee deal with the sudden  spurt of  fame that Pataal Lok has brought him. “Lockdown is helping me introspect.There are so many calls, messages,  interviews.”

He brought in his birthday on 5 May  at home . “I spent my birthday in lockdown. I grew a year older and probably more mature . I m trying to educate myself. I don’t have the patience to read these days , so I’m watching documentaries.  Learning about the great empires , how the society was formed and what lead all of us to the lockdown.”
Abhishek hopes  this this lockdown teaches us to respect nature . “So we don’t take anything for granted.The sea, the mountains, the fresh air, fresh water, people , relationships….I hope post lockdown it will be a different world full of compassion.”

His advise to his fans? “Iska jawaab simple hai.Everyone is sailing on the same boat.When we are in the boat we can either jump out of it or wait for the shore.And right now the only thing which will keep us safe is patience. Just keep calm and please  understand  that everyone is suffering.This is the best time to learn something new or polish your skills or bond with your family.Just make good  use of  the time. And   please try and  help the needy there are so many who need our help we should do as much as one can do.”
Unlike the  rest of the  entertainment industry  Abhishek  is’t working out at home. “Work out waghera kam hi hai.Usme zyada interest bhi nahi hai(not much work-out happening,  not interested ).Par kehte hai actor ki body humesha presentable honi chahiye,  so maintaining that)But must have  a presentable  physique).Actually fitness is also important for acting. An actor’s physical heath effects the breathing.I’m not enjoying sleeping as much.It gets boring after a point.. Eating  timings have changed.Whenever I’m up I eat my breakfast.It can be in the afternoon sometimes. Iss lockdown mein jahan pe need khule  savera  wohi hai(in this lockdown whenever  one is awake the morning starts).”
