‘Well done Chef, very well done,’ wrote a Twitter user.
Michelin star chef Vikas Khanna, known for cooking delicious food and unmatched culinary prowess, is going viral on the Internet for all the right reasons. Khanna appeared on a BBC World interview where the anchor asked the chef if his sense of hunger comes from India as he is not ‘from a rich family’.
“You’ve cooked for the Obamas, you’ve been on a TV show with Gordon Ramsay. But it wasn’t always that way, was it? You’re not from a rich family. So, I dare say, you understand how precarious it can be in India,” the anchor said.

Khanna, who had started the initiative of delivering ration to old-age homes, orphanages and leprosy centres in April during the coronavirus pandemic, maintained his calm and said, “No, I am from Amritsar, everyone gets fed there in the langars. My sense of hunger came from New York.”
The clip started going viral on the Internet as netizens lauded Khanna’s classic reply.
This Twitter user asked if BBC World was still in a ‘colonial hangover’.

Yash Dongre Business head at House of Anita Dongre
“I have fine-tuned my baking skills. Although my wife Benaisha and I aren’t vegan, the rest of the house is. So, during the lockdown, vegan baking took centrestage. Benaisha makes the best chocolate mousse cake. It’s made with dates, almond flour and coconut milk — it’s a huge hit. I find baking therapeutic. It’s a precise activity where the outcome is as perfect as the work that goes into it. If you follow the instructions, the end result is good. I love that.”
