Priyanka Chopra who recently showcased her culinary skills on a TV show, has stated that cooking is not her strong suit.

Talking about why she never learned cooking, the Citadel actress revealed that her father discouraged her from working in the kitchen.

She said: “My dad grew up in a conservative family and saw a lot of the girls having to always feel that they needed to be in the kitchen, it was a societal pressure.”

“He did not want me to grow up like that, so he discouraged it, he would be like, ‘What are you doing in the kitchen? Come here!’ So I just never learnt it,” she explained.

The 40-year-old actress added: “I have a very discerning palate. I like all kinds of food but I am just not good at doing it. Culinary skills aren’t my strong suit; let’s just put it that way.”

On the work front, Priyanka Chopra was last seen in the film Love Again opposite Sam Heughan.
