Do you remember Kanta Prasad? The heartbreaking situation of the 80-year-old man and his wife shocked netizens and after the video for ‘Baba Ka Dhaba’ went viral some time ago. Now here is a happy update. Prasad, who rose to fame a few months ago on the internet, opened a new restaurant in the Malviya Nagar area of Delhi, the ANI news agency reported. Prasad, who along with his wife owned a small kiosk in the Malviya Nagar area, became an internet sensation after a food blogger put his plight of not getting enough customers online in October this year. . In addition to the thousands of netizens who flooded the ‘Baba Ka Dhaba’ in the coming days to have the food, local politicians from different political parties had also helped the octogenarian couple financially. The fortunes of Prasad and his wife improved so dramatically that in a matter of days Prasad now owns an entire restaurant in the same area.
Sitting in a new padded chair in his new restaurant, Prasad told ANI that he was very happy and felt blessed by God that he had received the love of so many people. He also appealed to people to visit his new restaurant, which offers Indian and Chinese cuisine. In other photos shared by the ANI news agency, a gang of journalists could be seen along with many customers in the restaurant.

Shortly after ‘Baba Ka Dhaba’ became popular on the internet, the netizen community also started sending money to Prasad’s bank account, which had been shared by food blogger Gaurav Vasan. Online food delivery apps including Zomato also featured Baba Ka Dhaba on their platform.
However, a few days after the incident, Kanta Prasad had accused Vasan of diverting money from his bank account, prompting a series of accusations and counter-accusations from both parties. At the end of it all, the Covid-19 pandemic at least changed the lives of some people for the better, including Kanta Prasad, his wife, and his family.
