A post shared by Gaurav Wasan (@youtubeswadofficial)

While reacting over the overnight popularity of the Dhaba, Kanta Prasad’s wife, Badami said,

पहले बिक्री नहीं होती थी… बिक्री नहीं होती थी तो कमाई भी नहीं होती थी। जो खाना बच जाता था, उसे घर ले जाते थे, वही खाना खाते थे। कभी-कभी ऐसा भी हुआ कि राशन नहीं होता था तो भूखे रहना पड़ता था। बच्चे अपनी कमाई में से कुछ नहीं देते। एक बेटे का काम छूट गया है और जो दूसरा बेटा काम करता है, वो कुछ नहीं देता। बेटी की शादी हो गई है लेकिन वो हमारे साथ ही रहती है। एक नातिन है, 12 साल की… उसे पढ़ाते भी हैं। आज सुबह से बहुत सारे लोग आए हैं, तो खुशी हो रही है, खाना भी सब खत्म हो गया।”

After the video went viral, Kanta Prasad accused the YouTuber Gaurav Wasan of doing fraud with the money received as charity for Baba Ka Dhaba, and he also filed an FIR against the YouTuber.

All’s well that ends well 🙏 Galti karne wale se bada Galti maaf karne wala hota he ( Mere Maa Baap ne hamesha yehi seekh di hai) नानक नाम चड़दी कला, तेरे भाणे सरवत दा भला”
