Rashi is a Food Blogger and wants to pursue it as a full-time career. She feels that continuity of work and good content creation is necessary to keep surviving in this field.

Rashi Chandra is a Food Blogger from Lucknow. She has been doing food blogging for the past two years.

Rashi was born in Lucknow and did her schooling at New Way Sr. Sec School. She is currently pursuing her graduation from Lucknow University and is in B.A. Final Year.

Rashi shares that her parents are very supportive of her. This field is very new to them as they don’t know much about social media and feel that it cannot be a proper career. They persuade Rashi to focus on her career as well. However, Rashi feels that she would convince them that this is also a career and can be taken full time as well.

Rashi says that initially she started with her friend’s Instagram page and slowly grew interested in it. She says that you do not need a high-end camera like a DSLR or ring lights to shoot. She uses her phone and makes some good videos without much investment. Rashi advises the young enthusiasts of the field to focus more on creativity and less on equipment. Rashi informs that the major earning on Instagram is through collaborations and is very different from YouTube earning. Rashi has also started her journey in the Content Writing field as well.

Rashi says that Covid resulted in a complete shutdown. She was not able to go out for her shoots. She started cooking herself and made videos from home. Rashi says that it was important to keep the page up and going.

Rashi laments that there is no formal education available to become a food blogger. She says that whatever she has learned is through her experience. Rashi says that she has improved a lot from her first video till now. She has also learned a lot from her role model, ‘Zingy Zest’ Sarah Hussain. She also considers her mother as a role model and appreciates her management skills.

Rashi says that to come into this field one requires patience and creativity. Sometimes you will have a very high reach and great response and it may go the opposite way the very next day. She feels that in any circumstance, one should continue putting in hard work and effort and never back down.

If given a Time Machine, Rashi would like to go back to pre-pandemic days when everything was open and she could just go anywhere to shoot and enjoy.
