Do It Sweet On NDTV Good Times is your comeback on television. Feeling good in familiar territory?
It feels very nice to be doing what you are really comfortable with. It feels great to be working again and anchoring a show. Feels like the good old days are back.

What took you so long to return to TV?
I was busy with my kids for a while. My daughter just turned two a couple of months ago and joined play school. I had some free time at hand and hence decided to explore prospects in television. Although I missed working, I enjoyed my break, taking care of my kids and managing the house. I had a lot of options in mind, but then I realised that the entertainment industry is best suited to me.

Why did you choose a culinary show for a comeback?
I have always enjoyed watching culinary shows on television and also enjoy experimenting with food. During my break I also learnt to cook a bit and I do enjoy it. I’m also a chocoholic and I love gooey, yummy chocolate. Moreover, when NDTV Good Times came up to me with the concept I thought it was a great opportunity to explore something new on television. These are the many reasons why I chose to work on this show.

Are you inspired by Rachel Allen or Nigella Lawson?
There will not be any comparisons because I am not the cook on the show. Vicky Ratnani is. I am more like his helper or assistant who holds the show together. I was only happy that I was doing a show which is an extension of what I like to do.
