Living abroad comes with its own sets of challenges. For one, you have to do everything on your own without the help of loved ones. From cooking on your own to cleaning up after you cook, you’re basically your one man army while living abroad. A part and parcel of such a life is to learn hacks and jugaads to simplify your household chores like cooking. This is exactly what singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh did recently. Diljit, who lives alone abroad loves to cook every now and then. Many a times, this star chef is out of ingredients while recreating a recipe. In such moments, Diljit uses the best available ingredient at his disposal, calling it a ‘jugaad.’ In fact, the star recently even gave us a glimpse of his jugaadu cooking. Diljit who loves to cook and to eat, always keeps his fans entertained by sharing comical reels and videos in which he records his hilarious cooking escapades. Staying true to this, Diljit shared a funny video on his social media recently that drew the attention of every foodie.
In the video shared by Diljit on his Instagram, you can see the star cooking. He is making a French toast within what seemed to be a living room, and not a kitchen. The actor had made a makeshift gas stove by putting an electric stove and covering it with cardboard. Diljit dealt with the fumes from the cooking by opening a window, so that the smoke could escape. In the video, Diljit can be heard saying, "Bro, this is called jugaad. Khidki khol do dhua bhar, and this is called jugaad. (Bro, this is called jugaad. Open the window, and the smoke will go out). This video made us laugh!
