Have you ever thought what would happen if Pankaj Tripathi gave up his acting career and became a chef? Or, what would happen if Virat Kohli steps down as a cricketer and becomes a writer? Sounds scary, right? Well, not Pankaj and Virat, thankfully; but some celebrities I grew up watching have apparently switched their careers, and it feels like I’ve lost a part of my childhood! *sobs*    

For example, Kings XI Punjab batsman Mandeep Singh updated his bio to “An Expert Photographer”… 

Instagram

And, posted a small video that shattered my heart into pieces…

I mean, how could you, Mandeep? Who’s gonna partner with Chris Gayle to smash sixes around the ground in the upcoming IPL season?  

Even actress-host-fashion designer-fitness buff Mandira Bedi tagged along…

You know, there was a time when I used to watch pre-match discussions just to get a glimpse of her? No, Mandira, don’t do this to me!

Is there anything this woman cannot do?

Chef (Now photographer, evidently) Kunal Kapur also announced that he was all set to take up photography as a full-time profession… 

Instagram

No more tasty dishes to savour, man. What’s the world coming to? *sobs harder*

Popular playback singer Kanika Kapoor expressed that she was going to try her hands at a new career… 

Instagram

Kanika, nooo! We want more songs like Baby Doll and Da Da Dasse from you! Please, don’t do this!

Here comes the hardest part. Just when I was thinking that it couldn’t get any worse, I came across this…

An expert photographer, huh? Come on Aparshakti, your acting career was just beginning to bloom, and it looked very promising to me, and you had to go ahead and do this? 

And let me tell you, it’s not just me. People are pretty confused about what’s going on with these celebrities, and there are a lot of theories doing the rounds. But I have a gut feeling that this could be something related to the new Redmi Note 7 Pro which comes loaded with a 48-megapixel camera that promises unbelievable detailing. Because with such an amazing camera, it is simply IMPOSSIBLE to not be an expert photographer. I can’t wait to lay my hands on this beauty and go on a photo spree! The range starts from Rs. 9, 999, and you can get one for yourself too on Flipkart from the 6th of March from 12 noon onwards!
