Nitin Gadkari, the Minister for Road Transport & Highways, is a die-hard foodie! Our Editor-in-Chief, Kamiya Jani, met him at his Delhi residence for this Sunday Brunch episode to talk about his career, EV cars, food and more. Check this interesting anecdote about Nitin Gadkari’s bariatric surgery.
Why Did Nitin Gadkari Eat Pakodas Before His Bariatric Surgery?
While chatting endlessly about Minister Nitin’s love for food, cooking and more, we were inquisitive about his bariatric surgery. This surgery, commonly known as weight loss surgery, is for people who need to manage their obesity-related conditions. A night before his surgery, he went to a restaurants that serves one of the best pakodas.
Nitin alerted the staff that he would visit anytime during the night as he didn’t want a crowd gathering around him. There, he polished off five to six plates of freshly prepared pakodas with imli ki chutney! He believed, “This was one last chance to indulge in pakodas, before going on the weight loss journey!”
The next morning, Nitin Gadkari took a flight to Mumbai for his bariatric surgery.

He Had The Capacity To Relish 5-6 Samosas
Nitin shared with us that there used to be a time when his younger self would polish off six samosas in one sitting! He revealed that one of his go-to spots in Mumbai was Sukh Sagar. There he would munch on masala dosa, pulao, pizza, kesar milkshake and more.
In recent times, he has reduced his food portions. So, the folks at Sukh Sagar asked out of courtesy, whether he doesn’t appreciate their food anymore. He assured them that there was nothing wrong with their food, it was for his health. This interaction sounds so wholesome!
