He recalled, "Every classmate of mine opted for Western food except for me, and I didn't get a job after school. Usne kaha ye Desi chef hai, desi ki toh aukat nahi hai. America gaya tab bhi zidd pe adaa rha ki Desi khane ka time aayega. And the clock changed. (They said I'm a Desi Chef, and Desi has no standards. When I went to America, I was adamant that the era of Desi food would arrive)."
