Adil Hussain is at home and has been tasked with quite a few chores but still enjoying the downtime while the entire nation is under lockdown to prevent the spread of the
coronavirus. Ask him how he spends his time now and he laughs about housework.
"We have a 10-year-old," he said. "Kristen, my wife, and I are mostly busy doing household work. It is a full-time job with a 10-year-old at hand. To control his screentime, so that he does his
homework
for two-and-a-half hours a day. Finding things to eat, which is not necessarily repeating. For us, anything will do. We made our dosa batter ourselves and had dosa and rice."
Though the versatile actor is someone who loves cooking as he admits it’s one of his greatest loves aside acting, Adl is also spending some time in
quarantine
with books. Playing to the image of a thinking actor, he said the book he has his eyes on is Yuval Noah Harare's anthropological bestseller, Sapiens. " I have bought a lot of books, but Sapiens is on my mind, so I think I will start on it."
Apart from Sapiens, he also has his eyes on
Thomas Campbell
's My Big Toe series, which combines physics, theology and metaphysics. "Toe stands for Theory Of Everything," the actor shared. "Although I don't know where you would class these books — metaphysics? science? — It is science and philosophy coming together. I hope it is coming together in the right proportions and by credible sources (laughs)."
