Priyanka Chopra Says She Is A Terrible Wife Coz She Can’t Cook. Is Cooking Still A Wife’s Job?

If you can’t make gol-gol rotis in kitchen, how can you become the perfect wife? Eating maybe the need of both partners in a relationship but it seems like cooking is a task that should be aced only by the women in the household. Traditionally, we have seen our mothers spend a large part of their lives wondering about what to feed their family, buying the ingredients and then preparing whatever catches the fancy of each family member. In fact, the only time you will mainly see a guy in the kitchen is when he does not have a woman around him to do the deed. We claim to be millennials and aim for better gender equality but mostly men will expect a woman to find the way to his heart through his stomach and not the other way round. So it was interesting that in a recent Hollywood chat show called The View, Priyanka Chopra admitted to being a terrible wife because she can’t cook!

What Priyanka Said...

Priyanka Chopra talked about her family, life after marriage and upcoming projects at ABC’s chat show The View. She said that Nick Jonas comes from a good Southern home where his mother made food and that she is not like that. She said that only eggs and toasts are something that she can make, adding that she is a terrible wife since she doesn’t know how to cook.

The interesting thing to know, however, was what she said about Nick’s amazing reaction to this. Nick has quite cool about Priyanka’s lack of cooking skills and said: “It’s alright babe, neither can I.” Three cheers for a chilled out husband like Nick. Years ago, Priyanka had appeared on an episode of a cooking show called ‘What’s Cooking Good Looking’ where she had clearly said that she hates cooking but loves eating (don’t we all!). She had then proceeded to make her favourite dish, a pizza with various toppings. Her Quantico co-star Marlee Matlin had also tweeted sometime back that Priyanka had promised to cook for her when she comes to India.

Priyanka also had a great time celebrating holi with Jimmy Fallon on his chat show:

Is Cooking Just For Women?

Well, in today’s times, most women know the basic level of cooking and maybe a little more by way of experimentation. Also, we may or may not like cooking per se. It would be really great to have someone who can take over the responsibility rather than sulking over it. In fact, it was only in a gender reversal movie like Ki and Ka where Arjun Kapoor was diligently shown cooking because, well, he is the house husband. But if we look at cooking like a survival skill then why should it be gender-biased? Why shouldn’t the man also know how to cook rather than ordering in every time? When all the top kitchens around the world have male chefs, why can’t we have the men whipping up a great meal for the family? Ironical, isn’t it? Well, guess that depends upon the upbringing of our children and the traditional roles that they pick up from. So it is again the job of parents to tell them that mommy’s place is not always in the kitchen. Hopefully, that will bring a change in the mindset of the next generation.
