Even in my videos, for the longest time, I’ve chosen to not show my face and let my work speak. But, I realise that only a few get such opportunities and as a culinary artist and a chef, the fact that I would be representing the Indian chef community gave me the confidence to take this opportunity and put myself out there.”
