Another Sunday Brunch episode is out, and this time Kamiya Jani had a lovely conversation with the actress Geeta Basra, who is also former cricketer Harbhajan Singh’s wife. For the brunch, we enjoyed a delicious spread of Punjabi and Gujarati food, and in between, the actress talked about her career, marriage, motherhood, and more. She also mentioned how she grew up among Gujaratis in the UK.
Geeta Basra Talks About Living Among Gujaratis
During the Sunday Brunch, Geeta Basra treated us with a delightful spread full of Punjabi and Gujarati dishes. It included rajma chawal, patra, dhokla, white dhokla, sooji rings, and aloo paratha. She also mentioned that among the dishes, patra is her all-time favourite. Speaking about the Gujarati dishes and her familiarity with them, the actress said, “Born and brought up in a city with a lot of Gujaratis, whenever there used to be functions like Navratri, we always used to see these kinds of foods. Aunties used to bring these dishes home whenever my mom hosted a party. They brought their own dish as well.”
She further added that she has been familiar with Gujarati dishes like dhokla and patra since childhood. Also, her close friends in Mumbai are Gujaratis who always spoil her with delicious food.
Actress Opens Up About Returning To Work
Kamiya asked Geeta Basra about how she got her first break and also about her struggles in the industry, to which the actress replied that she was lucky. She believes that most people struggle for 5–6 years to get their first break, whereas she got hers just after completing her acting training. Her movie ‘Dil Diya Hai’ was released in 2006, just two years after she came to Mumbai.
However, after she got married, her acting career slowed down. In fact, she shared that she was removed from four projects as well. Now, after almost eight years, she has returned with her own production house, Purple Rose Entertainment. She has already released her first show, ‘Who’s The Boss?’ as well.
