Style
Gulzar is a ‘self-styled’ chef famous for his rich costumes, dramatic get-ups and signature moves. His cooking show, “Live@9 with Chef Gulzar” always opens with him performing a dance routine. Gulzar has said: “Dancing helps boost my mood and sets the right pace for the show. Some of my viewers may not like it but then again, that’s my style of doing things.” The Masala TV has brought out a best-selling cook book based on Gulzar’s show broadcast live Monday through Friday.[1]
Personal life
Born and raised in Karachi, Gulzar is married to a professional chef from Thailand, Rubina Gulzar, and lives in Karachi with his wife and daughter.
The Chef Gulzar Show is on Masala TV at 9:00 PM local time, which is why it is also known as Live@9. He has been televised for several years.[2]
