Mumbai, Oct 5 (NationPress) Celebrated culinary figure Sanjeev Kapoor recently commemorated a significant chapter in his personal journey as he marked 33 years of marriage with his beloved wife, Alyona Kapoor.

In a touching Instagram post, the famed chef expressed his affection and cherished memories. On Sunday, he shared several nostalgic photographs alongside a heartfelt message, stating, “33 years filled with love, laughter, and a few spilled masalas! Throughout every twist and turn, we’ve learned, laughed, and grown together. Each moment has made this journey truly worthwhile. Here’s to honoring our past while welcoming whatever the future holds.”

Sanjeev reminisced about their early relationship by posting vintage images that provide a glimpse into their romantic beginnings. The first image captures the couple gazing lovingly into each other’s eyes, while another shows them smiling together for the camera. In one of the throwback pictures, Sanjeev is seen playfully feeding cake to Alyona.

The acclaimed chef shares both his personal and professional life with Alyona, as their love story reportedly sparked during a train journey from Delhi to Banaras. After five years of dating, they tied the knot in October 1992. The couple is proud parents to two daughters, Rachita and Kriti. Alyona actively participates in their family’s culinary ventures, often featuring in projects like the “Family Food Tales” series.

Sanjeev rose to fame with his pioneering show, “Khana Khazana.” In April, he appeared as a guest on a YouTube podcast hosted by Bharti Singh and Harsh Limbachiyaa, where he shared insights into the making of Khana Khazana, a widely acclaimed show focused on Indian cuisine directed by Hansal Mehta.

He recounted, “I was never able to memorize scripts. On the day my show began, I was given a paper with an opening monologue. I vividly remember it. They also provided me with an outfit resembling a raincoat — I was unaware that TV had such specific wardrobe needs. Filming took place at Juhu Beach. It took me almost a month to get that monologue down. Back in those days, the concept of ‘TV’ was quite different from what it is now. After we finished filming, I said, 'We’ve done it your way — now let me try it my way.'”
