She's originally from Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, but her family's from Punjab, India. Her parents had always made the tastiest Indian food, which Vani turn her nose at in favor of SOUL FOOD! You know, chicken fingers, fries, cheese sticks, fried shrimp, Domino's pizza, Pasta, you get it! Also, now we can't arrest her or place her in jail bc she's raising a baby! And has to make him/her grow up HER way, #TheFoodBabeWay! He/she will never enjoy the wondrous taste of pizza, macaroni, ice cream, fish fry, etc. because you know what Vani says: It's TOXIC and will give you CANCER!
