Gaggan Anand has been described as a porn star specialising in food. In his teen years, the celebrity chef was a drummer and part of a group named Shiva and Eyes. He had to give it up because of an early accident on a bike. And it was after that episode that his mother insisted that he try his hand at catering by sending him to do hotel management at Thiruvananthapuram. 

“One day, I think there will be a film about me. My life is my journey. Wherever I go I am recognised. I’d like people to know that it’s possible to rise from a modest family background such as mine to whatever heights you want to achieve if you have the passion," Gaggan elaborates about his journey as a chef.

However, he adds "My passion is food. But every ten years or so, you find that you are at a new phase in your life and then that’s when you need to make a change.”
