Recalling her childhood memories, Nandani says that she used to explore street food with her friends during her school time and she misses those days.
When asked about how she decided to become a food blogger, Nandani says that one of her friends had a food blogging page that she had created just for fun. Both of them started food blogging just for fun but as and when it started growing, they began developing interest in the same and worked to grow the page exponentially. She, along with her friend, began exploring places, observing and learning from other bloggers, taking pictures of the food and this is how the page grew gradually with practice.
Nandani says that there came a lot of difficulties in her way. Since she was a student, it was a bit difficult for her to manage studies, assignments, and her Instagram page simultaneously. However, she along with her two friends worked hard with a strong understanding and overcame the challenges that came along the way. They came up with unique Instagram content every day with consistency and continued with the same determination even after disappointments and failures. The journey was not smooth, yet they were determined to achieve their goal and they did so, says Nandani.
When asked about her achievements, Nandani says that getting good grades in school was an achievement for her. Talking about professional achievements, she, along with her friends, grew their Instagram page from scratch which is an achievement for them. Also, getting appreciation from some fellow big influencers, and maximizing post engagements are some of the other achievements that Nandani talks about.
Speaking about her role models, Nandani says that her father has been a great inspiration for her. She has seen her father work very hard and that inspires her to be a responsible person too. Therefore, she aspires to work hard and become a better version of herself.
Sharing about her COVID time experiences, Nandani says that she missed enjoying her college life. However, from a professional perspective it was quite good as they created different food recipes at home to connect with their audience and they were successful in doing the same.
In her free time or when she is stressed out, she enjoys dancing, drawing, and writing.
If she was given a time machine, she would go back in time and relive the time when she was in eighth standard.
Talking about the importance of education and experience, Nandani says both are valuable, however, experience is something that gives you a practical perspective of the things which are important.
To the blogging aspirants, Nandani says that the very first thing you need to learn is to stop getting disheartened by not getting the desired post engagement. Focus on your work, create unique content, avoid negative thoughts, learn the process, know your audience, and be consistent. This will help you grow. Live in your present, and things will automatically go well, says Nandani.
