88-Year-Old’s Cooking Channel Gains Millions of Views
Why this is here: Vijay Nischal started her YouTube channel at 85, demonstrating a late-in-life pursuit of passion sparked by a connection with her grandson, Krish.
Vijay Nischal, age 88, launched a YouTube channel called ‘Dadi Ki Rasoi’ and gained over 1 million followers. Nischal began cooking as a child, learning from her father while helping with family meals. She paused pursuing her passion for sixty years due to family responsibilities.
Her grandson, Krish, suggested she start the channel at age 85. Nischal had no prior internet experience but agreed to try.
The channel features 90-second videos of simple Indian recipes. ‘Dadi Ki Rasoi’ now has over 1 million YouTube subscribers and 1.6 million Instagram followers. Nischal finds joy in creating content at 88.
