Admiring the dabbawalas, Kapoor said, “Dabbawalas are not just the carriers of food, but also do the task of spreading joy and smiles. They are the ones who add true value to the food we cook. These dabbawalas are the backbone of the population of Mumbai and may they continue to be for a lifetime. Star Plus and the MasterChef India team salute their undying spirit and hard-work.”
Reacting to this initiative, a dabbawala said, “We the dabbawalas are highly motivated because we believe that delivering food to Mumbaikars is like a service to God, similar to giving medicine to the sick.”
