About Mubashir Saddique

He wasn’t always a chef. And things weren’t as easy for him before he launched his channel online.

Saddique worked as a production manager at a plant that manufactured football, all the way to Sialkot. He remembers how it used to take him an hour and a half to reach work from Shahpur to Sialkot every day. Thanks to the success of his cooking show online, he doesn’t have to work at the plant anymore.

As amazing as it sounds, Mubashir told media outlets that this idea of starting a cooking channel wasn’t motivated by money, at least not from the outset. He was more concerned with sharing his famous ‘centuries-old’ recipes with the world. He just started with his cellphone camera to record videos, and the rest, as they say, is history.
