Chandrika Gera Dixit, popularly known as Delhi’s Vada Pav girl, is getting much attention from customers after videos featuring her entrepreneurial spirit went viral. With immense fame comes its own share of problems. Dixit’s video of customers being reprimanded for breaking the queue is causing a buzz.
In the clip, she is heard asking the customers to stick to the two lines and not create a third line that would disrupt the flow of work. At some point, Dixit says that she will not serve those who do not maintain the line. Dixit appears overwhelmed by the crowd, with people shoving their money at her to get the famous Vada Pavs.
An X (Formerly Twitter) user shared this clip on X and wrote, “Rs 50 ka ek vadapav bech rhi hai aur uparse itna attitude log bhi pagal hai (She is selling one Vada Pav for Rs 50 and then showing attitude, even people are fools.) This post was shared on April 1. Dixit’s frustration was justified by many online users who argue that people lack civic sense.
An X user commented, “If you look at the flipside, it’s appreciated that she is managing the queue at her shop, we already know how Indian crowds get & nobody follows the queue patiently. Imagine a senior citizen, lady or child silently waiting for their turn in the queue while pushed behind by men. Kudos to her rather.”
On the flip side, it’s commendable that she’s managing the queue at her shop. We all know that Indian crowds can be agitated and no one waits patiently. Imagine. A senior citizen, a lady, or a child are silently waiting for their turn in line while being pushed behind by men.
On March 11, a video of Dixit went viral in which she was on a call and complaining about pressure from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi officials who asked her to remove her food stall. She also claimed that the officials were demanding money even after she paid them between Rs 30,000-35,000.
Dixit, a native of Indore, set up a Vada Pav stall after working at Haldirams for four years. She moved to Delhi to seek a better livelihood opportunity. She is supported by her husband and her mother-in-law in running the lucrative Vada Pav food stall, which is set up near Keshav Mahavidyalaya in Pitampura. In a short time, Dixit has amassed over two lakh followers on Instagram and one lakh subscribers on YouTube.
