A 5-minute drive from their home in Bandra, Godrej

Nature’s Basket on Hill Road is Rai’s preferred choice

of convenience store, and she finds herself amongst

its grocery-laden aisles every other day. She reveals

that Vihaan and Shivansh eagerly accompany her on

these trips because she leaves them in charge of the

cart, and they know exactly where all of their favourite

foods are stocked. An added incentive for them is the

free tidbits that are doled out by assistants who are

eager to promote new items. Rai laments that the boys

always succumb to these marketing tactics, convincing

her to buy bagsful of food. She has managed to make

peace with it, as she also uses these trips to teach the

boys how to recognise vegetables, the varieties of fish

and even different types of succulents, so it ends up

being a win-win for all those involved.
