Let's start at the beginning, how did you first get into baking?

I've been baking since I was a child, my Masi (aunt) used to teach me over each summer vacation I visited Pune, she ran a very successful bakery there 'Cherry On The Top', and that inspired me. She had a PhD in Banking, and decided to purse her passion so she started the bakery. We used to meet her and my grandparents every summer, and helped her name it! Being a massive dessert addict - the one condition she used to have was I should try learning as well, besides stuffing my face and that lead to a long line of funny looking experiments.

​"I should start by thanking my stars that I was born in such a wonderful, artistic family. My grandmother, Jalabala Vaidya, is a stage actress and one of the most amazing women i have met. She performed The Ramayana solo on Broadway playing all 22 characters herself and my grandfather, Gopal Sharman, a brilliant playwright and musician, was the genius behind the script that took this play across the world. My mom, Anasuya Vaidya, did lights and technicals on Broadway when she was 14 and my dad, Ajay Shetty, is a cinematographer. I have grown up with these legends! They've taught me all I know about music and acting. My grandfather built the Akshara Theater in Delhi where I have been learning and performing my entire life."
