Vikas Khanna is a familiar name. The Michelin-star chef has already won people over by conducting massive food distribution drives amid COVID-19. A clip of the Vikas Khanna’s recent interview with BBC has gone viral.
He has been lauded for his reply. The anchor assumed that Vikas’s generosity in providing food in India to the poor and needy is from his sense of hunger while he was growing up in India.
Vikas Khanna, michelin star chef, gives it back to BBC news anchor.
Anchor: In India, you were not from a rich family. So your sense of hunger must have come from there.
Vikas: NO, I am from Amritsar, everyone gets fed there in the langars. My sense of hunger came from New York! pic.twitter.com/u06BJDSzvj— Harpreet (@CestMoiz) June 27, 2020
The anchor asked “You’re not from a rich family. So, I dare say, you understand how precarious it can be in India.”
To which the celebrity chef very calmly replied that it isn’t from India and gave an example of his city Amritsar. He said that it came from New York during his struggling days.
This clip is now being shared by many and lauded Vikas Khanna for hitting back at the BBC news anchor.

I wonder if this @BBCWorld anchor was brought up in an uncultured and an uncouth family where they didn’t teach him any civility and mannerisms.
