I have already thought two steps ahead of you, I am a mom, so I am always well prepared. So, I have come with comfy shoes and I am fully prepared."
"I really look forward to days like this because it has all my passion in it, which is spending time with my near and dear ones, my dear friends, cooking, learning something that I don't know, meeting new people, raiding a kitchen," she added.
Revealing that she started cooking for her son, the actress said that she cooks whenever she gets the time. "My son loves it actually, he likes. I actually started cooking because of him."

So, I cook for him pretty often."
