Mumbai’s beloved actress Shefali Shah, known for her powerhouse performances, is equally a social media sensation. On Wednesday, she delighted fans with a lighthearted Instagram video that has everyone chuckling. In the clip, Shefali is seen meticulously assembling a stunning charcuterie board at home, but it’s her playful pronunciation twist that steals the show.
With a mischievous grin, she declares, ‘Today, we’re making charcuterie!’ Then, she hilariously mangles the word into ‘chakuchuri’ and other comical variations, turning a simple cooking demo into pure entertainment. Captioning the post, she asked, ‘Charcuterie/Chakuchuri – what do you call it?’
For the uninitiated, charcuterie hails from French tradition, originally referring to shops selling preserved meats and gourmet bites. Today, it’s evolved into an Instagram-worthy appetizer platter brimming with artisanal cheeses, fresh fruits, nuts, crackers, breads, dips, jams, and honey. Perfect for parties, these boards are as visually appealing as they are delectable.
Shefali’s career is a testament to versatility. Starting in theater, she debuted in films with ‘Rangeela’ but skyrocketed to fame with ‘Satya’. Hits like ‘Waqt’, ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’, and ‘Jalsa’, along with gripping web series, showcase her range. Recently, she commanded screens in ‘Delhi Crime Season 3’, directed by Tanuj Chopra, alongside Sayaani Gupta, Meeta Vashisht, and others. The series is now streaming on Netflix, earning rave reviews for its intensity.
Fans flooded the comments with their own takes on the word, from ‘charcuterie chaos’ to regional nicknames, proving Shefali’s knack for connecting through humor. This fun moment reminds us why she’s not just an actress, but a relatable star who brings joy off-screen too.
