Chef Vikas Khanna’s viral reply to BBC: ‘My sense of hunger came from New York, not Amritsar’— Watch the Video
Chef Vikas Khanna organized large-scale food distribution drives, winning appreciation from many. In an interview with the BBC in 2020, he was asked by an anchor if his sense of hunger comes from India. Khanna responded, “My sense of hunger came from New York.” He explained further but did not elaborate in this particular interaction.
The interviewer begins by highlighting Chef Vikas Khanna's achievements, including cooking for the Obamas and co-hosting with Gordon Ramsay. He then contrasts this success with Khanna's humble beginnings, noting his origins in Amritsar, Punjab.
The interviewer suggests that Khanna's background from a less affluent family might give him a particular insight into the challenges of living in India. This implies that Khanna's experiences in a small Indian city have provided him with a deep understanding of hunger and poverty, based on the stereotype that everyone in less wealthy parts of India is automatically impoverished and starving.
This interview video has resurfaced and is being widely shared online. People are praising Khanna's calm but assertive response. Khanna addressed the renewed interest on Instagram, writing, «As this is trending worldwide, I must address this issue.» He highlighted India's diverse culture and contributions. «Our cuisine is valued as our greatest soft power, our family structure, spiritual power & wisdom, literature, science, research, technology, music, culture has defined its space in the World,» he added.
