MANNAR: Nashwa, the daughter of the late chef Naushad, who was beloved by Malayalis for his catering service, made a significant entrance into the field by preparing sumptuous meals for 2500 people. Although she has been in this field for the last year under the name of Naushad Catering with the assistance of her maternal brother Hussain, this is the first time she is directly supervising food preparation for such a large number of people. This event was for a cousin's wedding, which recently took place at Mannar Shyamashree Auditorium. The forty or so employees who worked with her father provided excellent support.

Naushad passed away in August 2021 due to an infection after spinal surgery, while he was actively involved in television programs and films. Two weeks before his death, his wife Sheeba passed away due to a heart attack. Nashwa, their only daughter who was devastated by these losses, overcame all difficulties and stepped into her father's path.

As Nashwa grapples with the pain of losing her parents, she sees the catering empire her father built falling apart. Nashwa is currently in a legal battle to reclaim the SIM card and vehicles from those who attempted to establish another catering business using her father's mobile number. Her maternal uncle Hussain is there to support her through all of this.

Nashwa is a 10th-grade student at Thiruvalla Believers Church Central School. Despite her studies, Nashwa has decided to actively pursue the catering service.
