A Food Blogger by passion and a Dentist by profession, Dr. Sakshi Nigam believes in doing something that she loves and is closer to her heart rather than worrying about what people have to say.

Born and raised in Delhi, Sakshi is a Food Blogger by passion and a Dentist by profession. Sakshi says that in her family, on every festival, different cuisines and delicacies would be cooked and this is what inspired her to become a Food Blogger to share her knowledge of different food with people.

Like every other girl, Sakshi too wanted to become independent from a young age. She wanted to become a doctor. She couldn’t get into MBBS and hence she opted for BDS.And today she is content that she gets time to pursue both her passion and profession.

Sakshi started her food blog when she was in her second year of BDS. She says that she always had her studies to be taken care of but since food blogging was her passion she always took time out for it. She also says that when she started out there wasn’t much competition in food blogging but of late, after the pandemic, many food bloggers have come up and the competition now is fierce. But she says that competition is invariably there in every field.

Sakshi shares that both her brother and she are fond of cooking. They keep trying new dishes at home when their parents are not home. She says they both were in college when they started blogging about different foods and their recipes. She would shoot for Zee TV when she was still in college. Her parents were always worried about how she would manage her studies, shoots, and blog. But she was confident that she would be able to manage everything.

Sakshi says that though of late the competition among food bloggers has increased, but so has their brand values. Now, realizing the importance of social media and social media influencers, many brands approach them for promoting their products. And her parents also feel proud when she gets featured in news etc.

Sakshi shares that because of her laid-back attitude and procrastinating things, she missed many opportunities and this is one thing that she would want to change about herself if she could.

Earlier Sakshi used to sell gifts and her miniature paintings to people or sell them at exhibitions. But owing to the shortage of time, she has stopped doing that.
