Evelyn Mathew – Born and brought up in Kuwait, Evelyn came to Chennai for higher studies. With a Bachelor in Electronic Media and Masters in Broadcast Communication, Evelyn made Chennai her home.

Nirupama Belliappa – Having studied film and East Asian religions in Montreal, Canada, Nirupama did not expect to be hosting a workout show with NDTV-Hindu in Chennai, India. But this country has taught her to stop expecting. Her petite form belies her dinosaurian appetite, hence it’s a little wonder she hosts "Feeding Frenzy". She takes occasional breaks from the dinner table to play her flute, guitar or sitar…and if there’s still time left she ends up being a water-babe! |
