Naagin actors Karanvir Bohra to Arjun Bijlani: These popular TV actors are helping their wives in cooking and cleaning

With the spread of the deadly coronavirus, a nationwide lockdown has been imposed by the Prime Minister. Everyone's asked to stay at their homes and not step out. During this time, the domestic helps too have been granted paid leaves by the owners. Many television actors followed suit and volunteered to do the household chores by not letting the entire burden fall onto their wives shoulders. Actors such as Vijayendra Kumeria, Rohitashv Gour, Arjun Bijlani, Vatsal Sheth and Karanvir Bohra are doing their bit. (Photo: Instagram)

The actor doesn't mind doing any kind of chores at home. He says, "It's better because it's not possible for the wives to do everything. If you are in the house, you have to share the load. You cannot say that 'I am going for work or I am working'. It's important to spend (time on house work) equally if not more. The only thing that I am doing is helping." (Photo: Instagram)

Arjun Bijlani has taken up the responsibilities of dusting and cooking. "I made Punjabi chole. My wife takes care of everything. We both are cleanliness freaks," he said. (Photo: Instagram)

Naagin 4 actor Vijayendra Kumeria spoke about it and told IANS, "Be it cleaning, cooking or washing, we are doing all the household chores together. I am doing this after a long time but yes, when I was a bachelor and staying in Qatar for two years, I used to do the household work. So doing household chores is not a problem at all. Life is living and doing stuff together with your family. My wife and I are doing everything together. Happiness lies in doing things together." (Photo: Instagram)

Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! actor actor Rohitashv Gour, who plays the role of Manmohan Tiwari, says that he isn't too fond of cooking, but he realised that he loves doing it. "I cut and cook vegetables and dal while my wife prepares chapatis and rice simultaneously. Apart from this, I usually stick to watering the plants or dusting the corners and furniture of our house. As a habit, my wife feeds food to animals which I have taken up as a daily task now," he said. The actor believes that doing the household chores keeps one fit. (Photo: Instagram)

Aasif Sheikh, who is also seen essaying the pivotal character of Vibhuti Narayan Mishra, believes that managing a home is not just a woman's job. "It's our duty to share the load with them and this applies to each man irrespective of his profession. With me and my wife, we work in tandem to ensure all the household chores are done. If she takes up the sweeping and dusting bit, I cook the meals for the day," he said. The actor further said, "The routine is exchanged between us the next day and my kids also help us out with some of the smaller household chores. We have also been working towards shifting to a new home which has been postponed until the situation gets better. However, the effort that goes into managing the entire household is tremendous. Hence, me and my wife always share responsibilities," he added. (Photo: Instagram)

The Patiala Babes actor Sourabh Raaj Jain feels the same and said, "My ma brought me up with this thought...by helping her out in doing household chores during childhood, and I strongly believe in it and share the household work with my wife as well, with or without quarantine." (Photo: Instagram)

For actor Mrunal Jain, cooking is something new to him. Speaking about it, he said, "I hadn't done that before. When I was small, I used to help my mom, Vidya, sometimes. Now I am helping by doing jhaadu (sweeping). I feel it is like a therapy. I feel closer to family as I am spending my whole time with them. My wife and mom are all-rounders and they are ensuring I become perfect in everything. I am learning to make daal baati from them and also hari mirch ka achar. Morning pooja also I am doing," he said. (Photo: Instagram)

Actor Yogesh Tripathi, who plays Happu Singh in 'Happu Ki Ultan Paltan', is used to doing chores by himself. The actor, who is known for his comic timing states that he started doing 'ghar ka kaam' ever since he joined theatre. "Much before I got married, I used to do all the work - right from cooking to washing my clothes which I continue to do whenever I get time. Due to my work schedule, I was not able to pitch in as much as I used to. I thoroughly enjoy cooking and since I am at home due to nationwide lockdown, I have taken over that task from my wife," he said. (Photo: Instagram)
