The IYER PAATI Goes Live on Instagram
While Gen Z may be considered as the de facto leaders of Instagram, the faith and confidence bestowed by her granddaughter, Meenakshi, encouraged Paati to believe there is space for everyone. Old is not what it was perceived to be. Thus, with a heart full of stories, a kitchen full of flavour and the able assistance of Meenakshi, ‘The Iyer Paati’ took interest to social media to share her recipes with the world. From day-to-day recipes to age old home remedies, her videos instantly warmed hearts and homes.
