Even when she lives far away from her hometown, she is seen as inclined towards her communal practices and way of life without fail.

The family belongs to the Brahmin sect of the Hindus who are strictly vegetarian in their food culture. This innate connection with food is what made her devote her channel to such dishes and the tips and tricks to master in their making.

Sudharshan is also a software engineer by profession. It was the marriage with him that became a game changer in the life of the vlogger. During that time that she got redirected from engineering to experimenting with recipes. The surname of her husband “Hebbar” is the inspiration behind the name of her channel.

The Hebbar community in her region were the popular Brahmins who had similar food interests and traditions. Hence she aptly chose the name to get in touch with her target audience through the first impression itself, which proved right eventually in her career.
