Actor and former MTV VJ Cyrus Sahukar, is back with a web series `Potluck` a light hearted family drama. The show is the story of a family bonding, despite their differences due to the patriarch’s ill health. Having shot the SonyLIV show when Covid was at its peak, when quizzed about how he dealt with the lockdown Cyrus admits, “I’ve had two kinds of lockdowns. The first one was very exciting though it was also tough being alone at home for five months. I was busy cooking and cleaning. I also did two weekly shows from home and was lucky to have work. Initially it was tough because all your demons come visit you but after a period of time it was comforting, working out things like new ways to do mopping correctly. The only thing I hated was cutting vegetables; I’m not good at it. The second lockdown was much tougher because I’ve spent most of my life travelling on a plane and living out of a suitcase. Of course it’s a global happening, we are all in the same boat.”
Speaking about what appealed to him when he heard the script of `Potluck` the actor says, “It’s nonjudgmental while dealing with the realities of life, none of the lines are written for effect. Usually the relationship between parents and children onscreen is very respectful but in reality though we adore them, they also drive us nuts and we find them dominating. At other times we laugh at their inadequacies. Potluck deals with those realities that hit close to home. It’s an unapologetic, unpretentious script. I’ve worked with Rajshree Ojha earlier who directed my film Aisha and we shot the whole show in 19-20 days in a bio-bubble because the Covid wave was strong back then.”
