Aparshakti
Khurana
recently
opened
up
about
being
housebound
and
what’s
keeping
him
busy.
The
talented
actor
also
stated
that
the
Coronavirus
pandemic
and
21-day
nationwide
lockdown
will
hopefully
make
us
all
better
human
beings.
Aparshakti
said,
“A
couple
of
months
back,
our
Capital
was
burning.
We
needed
a
pandemic
to
bring
us
together.
People
have
learnt
the
lesson
the
hard
way
and
I
hope
this
brings
the
necessary
change
in
all
of
us.
I
hope
all
of
we
come
out
as
a
better
version
of
ourselves
after
the
lockdown.
This
is
a
test
of
time
and
we
have
to
come
out
stronger.”

Speaking
of
staying
motivated
indoors,
he
went
on
to
add,
“I
have
always
been
a
foodie,
so
I
wanted
to
learn
to
cook
what
I
like
to
eat.
I
am
taking
cooking
lessons.
The
other
day,
I
made
kaale
chaane
and
it
turned
out
pretty
well.
I
also
learnt
to
make
butter
chicken.
My
domestic
help,
Shiva,
is
helping
me
hone
my
skills.
Thanks
to
technology,
I
am
also
taking
some
online
narrations.”
The
31-year-old
also
confessed
that
the
quarantine
has
given
him
some
time
from
his
busy
schedule
to
decompress
and
reconnect
with
friends
and
family.
“My
wife
(Akriti
Khurana)
would
complain
about
me
not
taking
out
time
for
myself,
and
right
now,
I
feel
this
small
pause
in
all
our
lives
has
really
made
us
know
ourselves
better.
I
just
called
a
school
friend
after
14
years
and
took
his
mother’s
number
for
her
nimbu
ka
achar
recipe.
Another
school
friend
in
the
UK
has
made
a
Whatsapp
group
for
the
entire
batch
and
in
a
week’s
time
we
have
74
people
out
of
the
90
on
it.
It’s
really
nostalgic,”
said
Khurana.
Meanwhile,
Aparshakti
will
soon
be
seen
in
a
lead
role
alongside
Pranutan
Bahl
in
Helmet.
The
quirky
comedy
will
also
feature
Abhishek
Banerjee
and
Ashish
Verma
in
pivotal
roles.
