During a recent event in Hyderabad, megastar Chiranjeevi made an interesting revelation which foodies can totally relate to. The Bholaa Shankar stated that he recently had a meeting with his auditors, lawyers and others as it was the end of the financial year. Chiranjeevi found it difficult to understand the technical bits of the conversation during the PowerPoint presentation. So, he resorted to scrolling his phone. The actor started watching a video his daughter recommended to him.
And that was a video from Tamil Nadu’s Village Cooking Channel. As his daughter spoke to him about the channel, the actor kept watching videos of the YouTube cooking channel during the audit meeting. Chiranjeevi then imitated the signature welcome phrase of Village Cooking Channel’s videos. “Ellarum vaanga, always welcome,” imitated the star, joyfully. The megastar added that he was engrossed in watching the village cooks chop something. But his team thought he was taking notes on his phone.
