Mumbai: With the COVID-19 lockdown shutting everyone in their homes, B-Town denizens are constantly looking for new ways to stay occupied. One of the most popular engagements has emerged as organic farming. Many of them are busy growing organic vegetables and fruits in their garden. Some of the others are working hard to keep the garden clean.
Bhumi Pednekar’s dream
Bhumi Pednekar has decided to learn the science of hydroponics farming or soil-less gardening from her mother during this lockdown.
“My mom and I always wanted to have a hydroponics garden of our own. We always wanted to grow our own vegetables and have a fully sustainable lifestyle. We wanted to have a garden to table lifestyle at home and we are both happy with the progress. I have been working closely with my mom during this time. I’m proud that our garden can now produce food for two days of the week!” Bhumi Pednekar informed a few days ago.
Shilpa Shetty enjoying home-grown vegetables
Shilpa Shetty recently shared a video where she can be seen ‘cleaning and tending to the garden’ with a broom. The actress shared another video last week where she was teaching her son how to pluck organic brinjals from their garden. However, she was close by to see that the kid did not touch green chillies.

“One of the greater joys of life is to see your efforts coming to fruition in this circle of life. It can be starting a new venture or see your child grow up. It is also a joy to see the plants you nurture bearing vegetables and fruits for you. Planted these seeds in pots four months ago and was thrilled to see brinjals and chillies ready to be harvested. As they say, what you sow, so you shall reap. Clean organic produce,” the actress wrote on Instagram.
What others are doing
Aditya Roy Kapur also recently shared a picture on Instagram where he can be seen sweeping dry leaves in the garden with a broom.

Mouni’s organic tomatoes had tough competition from Raveena Tandon who shared pictures of her ‘homegrown’ tomatoes on Instagram. “Homegrown tomatoes! We forget how simple things in life can bring such joy…” expressed Raveena.
The lockdown season has also turned Juhi Chawla into an organic farmer. The actress shared pictures where she can be seen planting tomatoes and preparing beds for coriander and fenugreek. Juhi called it her ‘Naya kaam’ (new task)!

Payal Ghosh recently shared photographs where she can be seen brooming her garden and taking care of plants. “Had fun gardening, it’s relaxing way to get in touch with nature, also good for mind and body…,” she said. Overlooked it…you never know, sometimes critical times also teach you good things,” the actress on Instagram.
It seems organic farming could sure be a nice alternative career option for a few in B-Town! Wild guess though.
