“People who love to eat are always the best people.”, legendary words by Julia Child, who was recognised for bringing French Cuisine to the American public with her debut cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking.
These words hold especially true for Ankita Chandel, a true foodie at heart. She’s intelligent, as she holds a commendable law degree and she also values family life. She deems Food Blogging is different from Fashion and Fitness, as it’s a challenge! This still doesn’t stop her from being a highly impressive Food Blogger, with a largely noticeable following on Instagram. Besides food, she’s passionate about capturing pictures of mesmerising destinations. She’s had the rare opportunity of working with Zomato, an International Food Company.Her trustworthiness, hard-work and persistence has led her to participate in several thrilling competitions on social media! When she travels to Pune or Goa, she savours the brilliant tastes of vada pavs or prawns and fish. She’s a globetrotter, who aims to step on uncharted lands.
She made a confident decision in 2017, that this is going to be her profession. She’s not only most appreciated for her posts on food prepared at home, but also various delectable recipes. Her secret to success is consistency, whether it’s posting in the morning, afternoon or an evening video, as well as various stories and reels.
Although social media can be a great place to be, there are times when you experience downfalls. One week you can be attaining many followers and otherwise, it’s a slower process. If it wasn’t for her patience, she wouldn’t have soared in her career. Posts can demand fifteen to thirty minutes of her time. She handles the content single-handedly and in that way is very responsible, alongside independent.
Ankita triumphs over challenges gracefully. Her family at home are very supportive of her achievements, although her relatives seem disapproving. They believe she should have a job, outside the realm of social media in order to earn a monthly wage. But, this doesn’t upset her as Ankita’s parents and brother help her cook and encourage her Instagram presence.
She keeps her followers gripped through weekly lives, asking viewers if they prefer momos or gol gappas, posts daily in order to interact and engage.
Ankita defines herself as a simple living girl. She loves to work-out and is disciplined. Although a foodie, she doesn’t overeat and takes good care of herself. An added bonus – she’s a competitive video-gamer.
Her unique advice is to follow your passion wholeheartedly. Be true to yourself. If you have the right goals and dreams, the money will come. The perfect song dedicated to her life is “Jo Bhi main, Kehna chahoon” from the inspiring movie, Rockstar.
