An old video of Indian chef Vikas Khanna from his BBC interview has resurfaced online, drawing attention for his epic response to the anchor’s comment. The anchor had remarked, “In India, you were not from a rich family. So your sense of hunger must have come from there.” Maintaining his composure, Khanna replied, “No, I’m from Amritsar, everyone gets fed there in the langars. My sense of hunger came from New York!” This interview took place during the coronavirus pandemic, around the time Khanna, who is also one of the judges of MasterChef India, launched the ‘Feed India’ initiative to provide food and supplies to those in need. The chef’s savage response captured widespread admiration. Addressing the resurfaced video, Khanna reflected, “Every nation has its greatness & faults. India is so so multidimensional & multicultural.” He concluded, “But somehow this is the only question significant to some…” Take a look at Khanna’s Insta post below and how netizens have reacted to it:
