Natasha hailed from Pune, India. She was one of the most renowned food bloggers, popularly known by her unique name, 'The Gutless Foodie', which was an apt description of her journey. Her Instagram feed is filled with drool-worthy pictures of yummy food, cooked by Natasha herself. At the age of 22, she was married and shifted to Delhi, where her in-laws refused her idea of working as a chef. However, after five years of living in an unhappy marriage, Natasha decided to end it, and it was the beginning of her new journey.
Natasha re-started her career by managing the Swedish brand in the embassy, where she found the love of her life, Bengt Johansson, a Swedish trade commissioner. While working together, they fell in love and decided to be each other's partners. Together, they worked in Bengaluru, and later in life, they shifted their base to Pune.
Natasha began to feel pain in her stomach after a year of walking out of her first marriage. While Natasha felt discomfort in her stomach, she felt pain in her shoulders. After two surgeries on her shoulder and three bouts of radiation treatment, the doctor was not able to solve her pain. She had almost given up eating with drastic weight loss. However, it was much later that a doctor was able to diagnose her condition. After an eight-hour surgery, Natasha's stomach was removed.
Well, Natasha became an inspiration to many with her journey!
