Alaya F speaks about her quarantine routine life and cooking-
When asked about cooking, and whether she cooks at home during the lockdown, Alaya F said that she is not particularly following any recipes for cooking. Alaya revealed she is not an instinctive cook, but, she is always cooking several food dishes at home. Alaya F revealed that she cooked items like Banana bread, because everyone is cooking, so even she tried that. Alaya said that she is better at cooking sweet stuff than she is in savoury stuff. She cooked Pancakes, especially her favourite protein pancakes, which she cooks very well and prepares them most of the time. Other than that she also cooked pasta at home.
She did her high school in Bombay [Mumbai] and then she went to New York to study direction. During her course in direction, Alaya F realised that she had an affinity towards acting and hence she found out that being in front of the camera was more fulfilling. That’s when Alaya F came back one summer and changed her major. From New York University, she shifted to New York Film Academy where she trained for the next five years. According to Alaya F, acting in a Hindi film is a different ball game altogether. She said that she took diction classes and dance classes, as she believes that she was a very bad dancer and that Bollywood dancing required a lot of work. Hence, Alaya F studied contemporary dance to classical like Kathak.
Alaya F is currently keeping her fans updated with her fun Instagram video. Alaya F is currently quarantining with her mother, Pooja Bedi, and brother Omar Furniturewala. She is enjoying her time and finding happiness in painting and making TikTok videos.
