Support Pours In For 5-Star Cruise Chef Who Now Sells Biryani On Street Due To Pandemic

The pandemic not just brought a wave of a nation-wide medical emergency but also robbed thousands of people off their jobs. While many have found ways of financially securing themselves, there still remains an overwhelming number of people who continue to suffer from monetary distress. Thankfully, social media has been of huge help by becoming a great support system for such people.

Akshay Parkar was one of the people who lost their jobs due to the pandemic. He had been working as a 5-star international cruise chef for 8 years, serving lip-smacking dishes to elite customers.

Despite losing his well-paying job, he didn’t lose hope. Akshay soon opened a food stall in Dadar, Mumbai, where he sells his 5-star level biryani.
