Also festivals are an important part of Indian traditions and sharing recipes related to festivals, more so, the ones that have been passed down to me from my mother is a nostalgic experience.”

I was in London when I was approached with the concept of Sharanam, I was intrigued, charmed and immediately agreed to present the show. Sharanam is truly different in every sense of the word as it highlights the faith and spiritual connection of India’s eminent places of worship, something that hasn’t been showcased on television before. I am happy to join the Epic family and celebrate three years of Epic.”
