During
an
interview
with
BBC,
the
anchor
asked
the
48-year-old
chef,
"These
days
you
are
famous.
You
have
cooked
for
the
Obamas,
you
have
been
on
TV
shows
with
Gordon
Ramsay.
But
it
wasn't
always
that
way.
You
are
not
from
a
rich
family
so
I
dare
say
you
understand
how
precarious
it
can
be
in
India."
Vikas’
Epic
Reply
To
the
anchor's
question,
Vikas
replied,
"I
understand,
but
my
sense
of
hunger
didn't
come
from
India
so
much,
because
I
was
born
and
raised
in
Amritsar,
and
we
have
a
huge
community
kitchen
where
everyone
gets
fed.
But
my
sense
of
hunger
came
from
New
York,
when
I
was
struggling
at
the
very
bottom,
and
it
was
not
easy
for
a
brown
kid
who
came
to
America
with
the
dream
of
winning
a
Michelin
star."
The
Michelin-star
chef
further
added,
"My
sense
of
hunger
came
from
New
York,
when
I
used
to
be
at
Grand
Central,
sleeping
around.
This
is
also
post
9/11,
so
it
was
not
easy
for
us
to
get
jobs."

Good
one
#vikaskhanna
giving
it
back
to
the
colonial
hungovers.
Sahil
Arya:
Please
come
out
from
your
colonial
hangover..and
stop
disrespecting
indians..
The
way
your
anchor
tried
to
insult
chef
#vikaskhanna
shows
your
mentality.

What
we
Indians
see:
#VikasKhanna's
"epic"
response
that
his
sense
of
#hunger
came
not
from
India
but
New
York.
What
we
don't
see:
The
2019
Global
Hunger
Index
ranked
India
at
102
out
of
117
nations.
(Lower
the
rank,
serious
the
hunger
level)
