Motivated by the local Kebab vendors in Lucknow to pursue your love of food, working today as a celebrity chef, how would you describe your journey?

When you are truly passionate about something, you just pursue it wholeheartedly. I am someone who started out by romancing food in the lanes of Lucknow, roughing it at Munir Ustad’s Kebab stall and working my way up the ranks. All I knew through it all, was that I was doing what I love and wanted to do for the rest of my life. And I’ve always believed that Food is a giver. When you invest so much in it unconditionally, it will surely give back. Above all, God has been kind.

Share 5 tips for budding YouTubers and young cooking enthusiasts who would like to pursue chef as a career?

One principle I have been guided by and I piously follow is to make a connect with the product you are presenting, in this case food, and present your interpretation of it. That’s what will make you stand out. Why is a dish special to you, what different element do you add to it and so on? It’s also important to make a connect with your choice of medium, understand the audience and do the prep accordingly. And most importantly, be yourself.
