The smell of ‘hing’ coming in contact with oil, tomato and basil cooking together, melting chocolate…these are a few of chef Ritu Dalmia’s favourite things. In this delightful chat, the co-founder of Diva restaurants talks about how success for her has never been about money, how a shared meal can end the worst fights and her journey to becoming a voice for the LGBTQI community. She also talks about easy self-acceptance and coming out as gay at 23 to her mom, who asked “Lesbian kya hota hai?" Follow and share to grow the conversation.
