Alia Bhatt learns to cook from mother Soni Razdan
The video begins with Alia expressing her and her sister Shaheen’s deep admiration for their mother’s culinary skills, describing Soni as the ‘best cook in the world’. She shares how Soni often prepares meals for her granddaughter, Raha, whenever they visit. Alia also confesses that she has been wanting to learn how to cook from her mother for a couple of years, to which Soni amusingly corrects her, saying it has actually been many years. The two share a laugh over this lighthearted exchange.
As they embark on their mac and cheese cooking session, ‘Mama’s Kitchen’ is soon filled with laughter and candid moments. Alia faces a few mishaps along the way, including accidentally burning the maida (flour) meant for the cheese sauce, leading to unwanted lumps. In her enthusiasm, she even manages to break a whisk while stirring vigorously. At one point, Soni playfully chides her, warning, “Poora dish kharab ho jayega” (The entire dish will get spoiled), making for an entertaining watch.
This is not the first time the Bhatt family has expressed their love for Soni’s cooking. On her birthday, Alia had shared touching photos on social media, captioning them, “The centre of our universe—happy birthday, mothership.” Similarly, Shaheen had posted a heartfelt tribute, referring to Soni as her ‘vacation buddy’ and ‘maker of the best scrambled eggs on earth’. In response, Soni humorously pointed out, “You forgot to mention my mac and cheese, but I’ll proudly own the best scrambled eggs compliment… until Christmas, that is!”
The Bhatt family’s strong bond and their shared love for food make this vlog a heartening and enjoyable experience for fans, leaving them eagerly anticipating more of Alia’s culinary adventures.
