Let’s just agree that most Indians are hardcore foodies. Be it the rich and robust curries or the endless servings of spicy and tantalising snacks, Indians are fans of it all. And why won’t we be? After all we have so many drool-worthy gastronomic gems that are simply irresistible. Imagine the diversity we have with 28 states and 8 union territories, each having its own specialty. And so, while we are always open to trying new flavours and cuisines, we find ourselves searching for the classic Indian delicacies each time we want to indulge to our heart's content. In fact, many of us would go on searching for Indian delicacies even while touring a foreign country. Isn’t that true?
That’s exactly what Viraj Ghelani - an actor and stand-up comedian, who is known for his spot-on skits about Indian families - hilariously showcased in his latest video. The video has impressed desi foodies and also Indians living outside of the country. In a funny way, Viraj shows that Indians cannot help but obsess over Indian food even when they are in a different country. Viraj can be seen dramatically led towards an Indian restaurant while in Spain. Once there, he orders for the quintessential samosa to satisfy his cravings. Take a look at the video:
The video has garnered over 1 million views, more than 135k likes and hundreds of comments. Desi food lovers from across the world thronged the comments section as they could not help but relate with this hilarious video. Some of the reactions left in the comment section of the video are:
"This isn't something I do, but it's hugely relatable and hilarious"
"Same feeling, I miss Indian spicy street food"
"No doubt in that...Indian Khane jaisa kuch nahi hein" (There is nothing like Indian food)
"So true! I always look for Indian food when abroad."
"Lol sahi baat h...kitna bread khaneka phir? Nothing like Indian food" (This is absolutely true; how can one survive on bread forever)
"Vegetarians ka foreign ghumna matlab aadha time Indian hotel dhundhne me hi nikalta hai" (Vegetarians waste half of the time finding Indian restaurants on foreign vacations)
Some comments also mentioned how the food is nowhere close to what we get in India. Do you agree? What do you think about the video? Let us know.
