Why is this 'Vada Pav Girl' going viral?
Who Is Chandrika Dixit? The Viral Vada Pav Girl Trending On The Internet
Chandrika Gera Dixit, better known as 'Vada Pav Girl' who has been serving Vada Pav in Delhi's Mangolpuri area was allegedly involved in an altercation with the locals and the Delhi Police as the recent video of the incident surfaced on the internet. According to the police, Dixit misbehaved with police officials after they confronted her about an incident reported by locals.
The food stall vendor was involved in an altercation with locals as she was arranging a 'bhandara' (food fest) for the community near the stall as many alleged the huge crowd was disturbing the locality and affecting the traffic flow.
As Dixit organised the 'bhandara' on the roadside, police received complaints from the locals prompting a team to reach the scene. The police officials claimed Dixit misbehaved with the officials which led to her detention while her stall was seized but no arrests have been made, confirmed DCP of the Outer Ring Road Police Station.
The 'Vada Pav Girl' who runs the 'Authentic Vada Pav' food stall selling Mumbai's speciality street food to Delhites is also social media famous with over 3,00,000 followers on her Instagram account. There have been numerous videos on the internet of Dixit's food stall surrounded by a huge crowd and Dixit with mics clutched in interacting with many food bloggers and content creators, gaining widespread popularity.
What made this Vada Pav Girl a viral sensation was a video of her crying over a phone call with a friend when the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) officials, as she claimed, threatened her to remove her stall. Many people claim Dixit was running her stall without MCD's permission causing distress to the locality as her stall attracted huge crowds due to her Internet popularity.
Since then, Dixit and her family have often been found engaged in many verbal and even physical altercations with locals opposing her food stall. In another viral video, Dixit was noted in a rough scuffle with a local leader. Recently, she also collaborated with Dolly Chai Wala who was backed by Microsoft and went viral after serving chai (tea) to millionaire Bill Gates.
Dixit claims to be a native of Indore, MP, who later shifted to Delhi. Dixit is a mother of a 3-year-old kid and runs a food stall with her mother and her husband to make ends meet.
While Dixit's entrepreneurial feat is remarkable, controversies surrounding her often seem to overshadow her achievements, but she carries on.
