Nikhil Kamath: ‘Zerodha’ co-founder Nikhil Kamath recently said something about Singapore’s food culture, which led to a debate on social media. The case has come to the notice of actress Kareena Kapoor’s dietist Rujuta Divekar, who has indirectly attacked Kamath’s statement. Let us know what is the reason for this dispute.
What did Nikhil Kamath say?
Nikhil Kamath, co-founder of Financial Services Stockbroker Jirodha, recently visited Singapore. Sharing his journey experiences, he wrote, ‘I was in Singapore last week. The people I met there, they told me that they never cook at home, some people do not even have a kitchen. People go out and eat food in the restaurant, or get food from outside and get them to their home. If it (food to eat outside) comes to India too, then this restaurant can prove to be a ‘golden age’ for business.
Rujuta Divekar protested.
Kareena Kapoor’s dietician Rujuta Divekar has taken a tough stand on the issue. Without naming anyone, he wrote on the social media platform, ‘Do not pay attention to the words of rich boys.’ Eating homemade food is a healthy habit. By doing this, not only the body is protected from diseases, but it also increases love among people and strengthens society. It does not matter what your age, gender or income, you should learn to cook and eat ripened food regularly. ‘
Discussion is going on on social media.
After these statements by Nikhil Kamath and Rujuta Divekar, there has been a hot debate on the issue on social media. Most people have supported Divekar’s statement and criticized Kamath.
Some users argued that ‘the culture of Singapore is different from India. There are about 121 government ‘hawkers centers’, including 6,000 food shops. People there eat nutritious food at affordable prices.
Many users have described adopting this trend in India as harmful to health. He said, “Eating regular restaurant food increases the risk of diseases like obesity, diabetes, heart problems and cancer.”
Some users said, “Eating outside in India is not good from both economic and cultural point of view.” One user wrote, ‘Homemade food is an important part of Indian culture and there is no change in the near future.’
