While doctors are super busy, we also know many of them pursue other passions — a certain Arthur Conan Doyle comes to mind. Dr Nithya Franklin follows in those illustrious footsteps. She launched a cookery channel, Dr Nithya’s Kitchen, on YouTube in April 2020. Nithya, who works from 8am to 4pm at Vijaya Hospital, Chennai, and has a private practice from 6pm to 8pm, says, “Cooking has been my passion since I was a teenager. I make time for this. I shoot on days when I have few appointments or on Sundays.”
