Take a look at the comments in which people disagreed with Barjatya:

“Tumhara tweet dekh ke turant order kiya maine [I instantly ordered it after seeing your tweet],” posted an X user. “I think we are taking health issue too far and at extremes. No one eats it everyday. If one eats very very occasionally, let's not be judgmental. Maybe once every six months,” added another. “Bhai, thoda lite le yaar [Brother, take it easy]. I respect you for your views, but you don't need to necessarily criticise other ways of living to promote yours,” commented a third.

Here are some people who supported his post on chole bhature:

“Same. Even when not clean eating, I can’t eat something so loaded for breakfast,” shared an X user. An individual posted, “It’s been 15 years I haven’t touched fried Bhatura.” Another wrote, “Once or twice in a month is ok but definitely unhealthy making it a routine favourite.”
