Her husbands loss left void, but at 91 this Ahmedabad nani found purpose in cooking. Today at 98, 'Nanis Nashta' business has made her viral star

Prabhavati Bhagwati, a 98-year-old woman from Ahmedabad, has become a viral inspiration after starting her home-based Gujarati snacks business, Nanis Nashta, at the age of 91 following the loss of her husband in 2017. What began as a simple moment at a tea gathering, where her homemade khandvi was loved and later ordered for events, gradually turned into a small but successful kitchen business serving traditional Gujarati and Mumbai-style snacks like dhokla, thepla, sev puri, vada pav, and pav bhaji. Now cooking for over 200 families, she has redefined ageing by proving that passion, purpose, and new beginnings have no age limit, making her story a powerful reminder that its never too late to start again.
