In the comment section, Bengaluru resident Varun Peru, a fellow X user, shared an unexpected response. He posted the CV of his cook, Ritu, and urged Urvi to consider her for the job. "You should definitely consider Ritu Didi HSR's MasterChef. She's been amazing at her job—her simple, homely meals are the best! I even made a resume for her because she deserves the spotlight," Varun wrote, along with the CV.
