It may have to do with all the time they have on their hands now, but a couple of Tollywood queens are finally discovering passions beyond the one they earn their living from. Samantha Akkineni has been posting pictures of her recent hobby on her Instagram. In one of such posts, she had talked about her first harvest of cabbage microgreens, giving tips on how simple it is to grow them even inside one’s home. In her latest post, in which she seems to an- nounce having discovered her passion besides films and acting, the picture shows her smiling lightly at the camera while holding a beautiful head of butterhead lettuce. The caption to her post reads, “I finally found some- thing I am passionate about that is not part of my job?? .. I was starting to get tired of answering people when they asked me ‘What is your hobby?’ ...Me - ‘Acting’ ... Them - ‘But that’s your job. What is your hobby ?’.... Me - '?????’ ... @urbankisaan my butterhead lettuce is better than yours ???????? .. Thankyou guys (sic).” Another actress who has been posting about her pas- sion besides the film world is Rakul Preet. In her latest post, where she is in a summery yellow off-shoulder top, sitting at a coffee table with four cups holding what ap- pears to be seeds, she writes, “We all know seeds are very good for health but do you know how?
