She sarcastically said, “Mere mein bohot hunar hai cooking ka (I am very talented when it comes to cooking).” She further explains, “It is like if you are making the best dish in the world and I walk into the kitchen and you tell me that you’re going out for a second and ask me to stir it, by the time you come back it will be burnt.”

Shabana further revealed how her family runs away the moment they hear that she is going to be cooking. She said, “So this is one talent I never had. And if ever I tell people that I am going to cook, slowly everybody slinks away. Only mere pyaare abba, Kaifi Azmi sahab, would eat my kacchhi roti and say bohot lazeez hai (My father would even eat an uncooked roti cooked by me and say it is delicious). So I can’t cook unfortunately,” Shabana added.

When asked if Javed Akhtar too runs away from her cooking, she said, “Woh (Javed Akhtar) aur Farhan, aur Zoya aur Baba and Tanvee, woh sabse zyada bhagte hai (Javed Akhtar, Farhan and Zoya, her brother Baba and his wife and actor Tanvi Azmi are the first ones to run away from my cooking).”
