Chef Vikas Khanna's savage reply to BBC anchor wins hearts on internet

During this coronavirus crisis, there are some people whose generous acts have restored faith in humanity.

In the interview when an anchor asked him about his hardships since he's come from India to which the Michelin Star chef gently answered that his sense of hunger has not come from India but from New York as he was struggling there from the very bottom. ## When the host asked the chef, "You’ve cooked for the Obamas, you’ve been on the 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." To which Vikas replies, "I understand, but my sense of hunger didn’t come from India so much because I was born and raised in Amritsar. We have a huge community kitchen where everyone gets fed. The entire city can feed there. But my sense of hunger came from New York when I was struggling here from the very bottom." ## @Sonu1999s Vikas Khanna, michelin star chef gives it back to BBC news anchorAnchor: In India, you wre nt frm a rich family.
