Becoming a mom isn’t a one-time job, it’s a continuous journey. Balancing motherhood with a career is challenging, especially when you're a content creator. Rohini Deepti Natti, who enjoys a following of 322K on Instagram, is a momfluencer known for her creativity and love for cooking. She whips up dishes so appealing that even adults can’t resist them. In a Mother’s Day special interview with Mid-day, Rohini opened up about her challenges, the roadblocks along the way, and what keeps her going.
There has to be some motivation behind everything. It’s never just about doing things without a reason, and when it comes to presenting food in a playful way, like turning it into cartoons, you definitely need some inspiration. For Rohini, it all started with a surprise that turned into a daily ritual. One day, she presented a meal shaped like a sea creature, and it changed everything. The social media star shared, “The pure joy and wonder that lit up Adi's (her son) face, that moment was priceless, and just like that, my creative journey with food art was born.”

Since this was a Mother’s Day special chat, we couldn’t resist asking one of the most creative social media stars what she’d serve on a “Mother’s Day Thali.” Rohini was quick to reply: “A warm idli carved into a mom chef.”
For Rohini, creating fun and interesting dishes is no longer just a hobby, it’s how she approaches life. So, how does she come up with ideas that make even the mundane parts of motherhood entertaining? “My son Adi's excitement and involvement keep our kitchen time fresh,” she said.

Keeping up with algorithms, posting hours, and maintaining follower engagement, all while ensuring she doesn’t miss out on quality time with her son, can be tricky. But Rohini has found her middle ground. She now focuses on creating a natural balance by involving her son in her creative process. “These moments double as our special bonding time while he picks up valuable skills along the way. Win-win for both of us!” she shared.
The pressure to be perfect is something many moms grapple with. When asked what advice she’d give her fellow moms, Rohini thoughtfully said, “Make choices that allow you to enjoy quality time with your kids. Whether you cook, hire a chef, or order in, what matters most is that you're creating happy moments together.”
