‘Baba ka Dhaba’, a tiny roadside kiosk, which had been running by Kanta and his wife in Malviya Nagar, had become the talk of the town last year after food blogger Gaurav Wasan used social media to highlight the elderly couple’s livelihood struggles.

Soon enough, Gaurav had managed to bring in donations and customers to the Baba Ka Dhaba eatery, with everyone believing that it was a happily ever after story.

However, things took a turn no one saw coming when the 80-year-old Kanta then went on to file a police case against Gaurav for allegedly swindling the donations, while also publicly stating that he never asked for the blogger’s help and that he had approached the couple on his own.

Gaurav was left with nothing but to deny the charges after which he defended himself by displaying his own bank statements.

During the same time, Kanta Prasad had opened a new restaurant while also managing to pay all his debts and buy smartphones for his family.

Unfortunately for him, the restaurant did not kick-off and was forced to shut down in February, forcing him to come back to his roadside stall once again.

Baba Ka Dhaba’s Kanta Prasad shuts down the new eatery, (opened in December 2020) due to losses. He says, “On an investment of Rs 1 lakh, we only earned Rs 35,000, thats’ why shut it. I’m happy to run my old eatery as customer footfall is good here.” pic.twitter.com/sA8xdcgp1z

Now, in what was another viral video recorded by another food blogger, Kanta has apologized for everything that happened. With folded hands, he can be seen saying, “Gaurav Wasan was not a thief. We never called him a thief.”

“(The) universe knows Gaurav Wasan was not a thief.”

He also goes on to say that he was wrong in saying that Gaurav approached him on his own.

“I made a mistake by saying ‘I didn’t call him but he approached us himself,’ I’d like to apologize,” said Kanta.

Soon after the video of his apology went viral, social media users took to Twitter to have their say on the latest development in the saga, with many suggesting that it is indeed Karma that has struck the Baba.

Greed was the destroyer in baba-ka-dhaba. He made a person who would have helped many more was demoralized by him.

This is why good ppl lose faith and hope sometimes. Somebody reaches out to you to help but they think of throwing dirt on them. Some ppl are so immoral and ungrateful retards.
