‘You’re such a good Sindhi girl, why are you doing this’: Tamannaah Bhatia on the unsolicited marriage advice she received as a young woman; expert on its impact | Lifestyle News

Published by Parlour News

4 min readNew DelhiApr 14, 2026 01:00 AM IST Career choices, especially for women, are often viewed through the lens of societal expectations rather than individual ambition. Actor Tamannaah Bhatia recently shared an incident that highlights this deeply ingrained prejudice.  During an interview with journalist Shravan Shah for Varinder Chawla, she recalled, “It was so weird because I was having a meeting with someone else. I was in a hotel, and I went for a meeting, and I was with my father. And the person who owned that hotel, his wife walked up to me and said, ‘You’re such a good Sindhi girl, why are you doing this? You could have been married by now.’” She went on to add, “This is something I was told. And it was so weird because I was having a meeting with someone else. And I’m not here to meet them. But they’ve actually walked up to me, made conversation, exchanged pleasantries and then given me this very strong opinion of theirs.” Tamannaah also reflected on what this meant …

The Macaroni that Defined my Sindhi Grandmother’s Kitchen

The Macaroni that Defined my Sindhi Grandmother’s Kitchen

Published by Webster

In her grandmother’s kitchen, there ere two one-pot dishes that stood out to Aakriti Mandhwani. One was the Sindhi kadhi, and the other, the humble macaroni. I’ve lived in only four cities in my entire life. Delhi: My parents, and I were born here, and my grandparents unwittingly found themselves forced into during the Partition. London: I didn’t think much about what it meant to be living in, and to be from, this city, until I moved to London and lived there. It was quite unlike the fox rabbit and gerua-ridden paradise of Gurgaon my parents moved us to when we were very young. It was in London that I tried to find food that I didn’t know I was going to miss. While she was alive and able, my dadi, Pammi Mandhwani, made sindhi kadhi. She made it just as frequently as my brother asked for it. My brother thrived on the kadhi, but I suspect he really was after the thick, sugary, sticky toxic-orange coloured boondi — fetched from the halwai — that …

Exploring the Sindhi Love for Lotus Stem

Exploring the Sindhi Love for Lotus Stem

Published by Webster

Sindhis’ cultural identity, as it exists today, grasps onto language and food for its survival. We went from having a proud regional identity before the Partition to gaining a diasporic identity of refugees and of stateless citizens. Take a look at any heritage mapping effort in India and it doesn’t go beyond the borders of our twenty-eight states, right from regional cuisine mapping to something as simple as the stickers of traditional attires of India sold to children. Our cultural identity is nowhere on the maps because of Partition geopolitics and our scattered community, but, we still have our food, and our endless love of beeh. Beeh is much more than a simple meat substitute for Sindhis, it is an emotion. I have no memories of Sindh nor do my grandparents but whenever we sit down to eat beeh together, it bridges the gap between us and a home that was cordoned off decades ago.  How much do I love beeh? Let me count the ways. You can dip it in besan better and make …

The Sindhi One-Pot Wonder Meal

Published by Webster

Reshma Sanghi makes a strong case in defence of the one-pot meal. From tagine, to coq au vin and sonta, she digs into her childhood memories to recreate a delicious Sindhi dish that stars a rich garlic masala. As a young mother, my goal was to feed my kids healthy and nourishing meals. I could supervise breakfast and dinner, but lunch was often a quick snack in school, wolfed down in three minutes so they could spend the remaining 17 running and playing. I tried my best to lure, bribe, plead, beg, even threaten them, with offers of wholesome meals in their tiffin. ‘Will you take dal chawal?’ ‘Eww, the whole classroom smells of dal.’ ‘Aloo Paratha?’ ‘Eww, the whole classroom smells of potatoes.’ ‘What about finger chips?’ ‘Yes! Extra for my friends too!’ Strange that those potatoes didn’t smell. But in the end, I’d focus all my efforts on dinner. Those days I had just begun experimenting with food, and cookbooks were my nighttime read. A gifted collection of The Australian Women’s Weekly cookbooks …

the Sindhi Winter Chikki

Published by Webster

Jivanti Chandnani shares a family recipe for this spiced and nutty brittle commonly eaten for festivals, weddings and during the winter season. In the late 1960’s, my great-grandmother would sit in front of an open fire, surrounded by her daughters. Together, they would melt huge batches of sugar till it turned a cookie-brown caramel, and combine it with toasted and chopped nuts. This mixture would then be placed on small thalis, and allowed to set. This varo would then be distributed to family members across the city. The Sindhi varo is like a darker version of a toasted nuts brittle or a chikki. The addition of spices lend it an aromatic flavour. It is typically eaten as a post-dinner mini dessert, especially on cold winter nights, as the spices help to combat the cold. It is also popular during festivals and weddings. After my grandmother got married, she and her sisters followed the same tradition. Every child in my family has grown up eating Sindhi varo as soon as winter strikes or during festivals. This …

What Does it Take to Make a Great Sindhi Curry?

Published by Webster

Finally, the moment arrived when we would assemble at the table for our contribution to the occasion. My favourite part was watching my mother take the veggies out of the curry and place them on the mound of rice on my plate, and then ladle the curry lovingly over it. This was topped up by a dollop of makhani dal, some fried papad and kachris. And then, the feast. Hands only, no cutlery allowed, trying to balance the precariously balanced (and delicious) mountain on our plates. The key was to get a little bit of everything in each mouthful (and yes, our mouths would be full). My sisters and I would slurp our way through the meal, happily, the silence only being intermittently broken by crunching mouthfuls of fried goodies. There are many ways to make Sindhi curry and many ways to eat it, but this was ours. Like I said earlier, no two Sindhi curries will ever taste the same because no two households will every make it the same way. The beauty is …

Sindhi Malai Koki is the Poster Child of Winter Comfort Food

Published by Webster

For buttery crust and tender body, Amrita Amesur recommends using a combination of ghee and freshly-skimmed, rich buffalo milk malai. Koki is just a Sindhi name for a roti made with plenty of fat rubbed into flour, much like shortcrust pastry. There are those that make it simply with salt, pepper and ghee, and there are those that infuse it heavily with coarsely chopped onions, green chillies, maybe dried pomegranate seeds and fresh coriander for a pungent-tart-textural zing. Incidentally, a sweet koki is called loli (or lola!) – but we’ll save that for another day! Koki has been the most stable, consistent and enduring part of my food existence while growing up in a bustling Sindhi household. Every mealtime could potentially be koki time. It was considered appropriate for any and all manner of meals. Koki was eaten for breakfast dipped in piping hot sweetened masala chai (stolen from the parents’ batch of chai for the kids, exclusively for dunking); for lunch with creamy homemade dahi, and flame-roasted papad; and for dinner with raw mango …
