The "Masaan" actress shot for the season finale of Ranveer Brar's web series "You Got Chef'd!" in which the chef took her on a rollercoaster ride of cooking. She faced the challenge of preparing a home style dish with the chef who presented his gourmet version.
Shweta said: "I am not much of a cook but I love food, I know food. I stuck to following the recipe. It was a wholesome experience for me in which I got to challenge myself and experiment with something I have never tried before. My favourite dish is - Thai curry. And I have been able to learn the basics of how to make it through this show."
She added: "Chef Brar is admirable and taught me some fun tricks on how to change a dish around and I have had a blast shooting for this. More than anything else, I saw parallels between acting and cooking. Like in cooking, you need to know the temperature of oil, measurement of ingredients, your recipe. It's similar to acting because it requires a similar balance where your skills are as important as what you are able to work together with your director and co-actors, as well as writers. It's a combined effort of a lot of elements much like dishes in which things add up to make a delicious dish."
