Ramaskanda Shastry is the Private Chef of Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, the Bollywood stars, who are officially tying the nuptial knot today in Mumbai. The wedding festivities kick-started with mehendi ceremony yesterday.
Ramaskanda, a native of Bengaluru, faced a lot of brickbats, when he discontinued his BA History and Economics at the St. Joseph’s College, Bengaluru, six years back.
For a while, he pursued music and cooking, two of his passions. When his father Shantarama Shastry, a well-known family priest of many reputed families and himself a graduate in B.Sc Electronics, advised him to study ‘Hotel Management,’ Skanda joined for BA-Culinary Arts at WGSHA (Welcomgroup Graduate School of Hotel Administration), Manipal. He worked as a Chef at W-Hotels in Goa, for about eight months. When he felt that the job was monotonous, he got introduced to Harsha Dixit in Mumbai, who was the Private Chef of Ranbir Kapoor.
Skanda started assisting Harsha Dixit since two years and for the last six months, he has been the Private Chef of Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.
