In an interview with BBC, the anchor asked Vikas saying, “You have been quite famous now. You have cooked for Obamas, you have been on the Gordon Ramsay’s show. But, you were not always like this. You are not from a rich family background, so I dare say you understand how precarious it can be in India.”

To which the star chef quickly replied saying, “My sense of hunger did not come from India so much because I was raised in Amritsar and we have a huge community kitchen where everyone gets fed. The entire city can be fed from the community kitchen. We have huge community fed, where everyone gets fed. My sense of hunger came from New York, when I was struggling and really was at the bottom. It was difficult for a brown kid to rise through, someone who had a dream of winning the Michelin star.”

“Therefore my sense of hunger came from New York when I was living in Grand Central and sleeping around. It came from the United States, not from India,” he added further. Soon, after his video goes viral, Twitterati reacted to the video, take a look at them:
