Celebrity chef Vikas Khanna won hearts as he came forward to provide food to the needy amid COVID-19 pandemic. Vikas' initiative has been praised by the netizens and several celebrities. During a recent interview with a news channel, Vikas spoke about his drive at length.  But what took everyone's attention was when he was asked a question on 'sense of hunger' and the chef gave a surprisingly good response.

The viral clip captures Vikas' response to a question related to hunger. The video opens with the anchor saying “you’ve cooked for the Obamas, you’ve been on 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.” With this statement, the anchor assumed and commented that the chef’s motivation behind the food drive stemmed from his sense of hunger during his time in India.

To which, the chef, in a very calm demeanor and with a smile on his face, replied that his sense of hunger didn’t come from India but from New York. He went on to explain that he belongs from the city of Amritsar, Punjab, where meals are cooked in langar (community kitchen) and everyone is served there. However, when he came to New York, during his struggling days, he learned the true meaning of hunger.

Have a look at the entire conversation here:

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
