Mumbai: Amandeep Sidhu, who has been winning audience’s hearts as Baani in Sony SAB’s ‘Badall Pe Paon Hai,’ is currently shooting for the show in Chandigarh, alongside co-stars Aakash Ahuja and Sooraj Thapar, amongst others. Being away from their families, the cast is bonding over shared experiences on set, but for Amandeep, there’s one thing she misses most, her mother’s home-cooked meals as her mother is based in Delhi.
Reflecting on her childhood, Amandeep fondly recalls how she used to swap her mom's homemade parathas for her friends' sandwiches at school, not fully appreciating the comfort and love in her mom’s cooking. Now, working away from home, she craves those familiar flavors more than ever, cherishing the warmth and care behind every dish she once took for granted.
Amandeep Sidhu who portrays the lead character of Baani in Badall Pe Paon Hai said, “When I was in school in Delhi, my mother would pack homemade paranthas, roti-sabzi, and other dishes for my lunch. On the other hand, my friends would bring fancy food like sandwiches and Maggi. We often traded lunches—my friends loved my mom’s paranthas, while I preferred their fancy food. Back then, I didn’t fully appreciate my mom’s cooking. But now, shooting in Chandigarh and being away from family, I find myself craving her food and no longer caring much for sandwiches or Maggi. I wish I had valued those moments in school. As you grow older and start working year-round, you realize how much those small moments really matter, especially when you no longer live with your parents.”
Despite the homesickness, Amandeep finds solace in her work and the warm camaraderie with her fellow cast members. "We’ve become like a little family here on set," she shares. "There’s something about being away from home that makes the bonds you form with your co-actors even stronger. We share our meals, stories, and laughs, and that has helped me feel at home in Chandigarh."
