"It is a great travel-lifestyle-food show. It takes one to the roots and culture of India. Besides showing the recipes, what is more interesting is that the show will talk about the cultural diversity, history, music, art and architecture," Chandrachur told PTI.

For him, the show is interesting in a way as he got the chance to visit places like Kota and Karauli where his paternal grandparents belonged to. "It was an enriching experience for me as it took me back to my roots. I got to explore these places and other new places. I cherish all this and also the fact that I got to learn a lot of things," he said. The show will go on air this month.
