Chandrika Gera Dixit, famously known as the 'Vada Pao girl', has captured public attention with her journey from selling vada paos at a Delhi stall to potential stardom on Bigg Boss OTT 3, hosted by Anil Kapoor. Her rise to fame began when a video of her selling street food went viral on social media, highlighting her infectious enthusiasm and entrepreneurial spirit.
Originally employed at Haldiram’s, Chandrika left her job after her son fell ill with dengue, channeling her passion for food into starting her own food cart. Her initial video appearance on food vlogger Amit Jindal’s channel marked the beginning of her social media presence, leading to collaborations with various Instagram influencers. However, her growing popularity wasn't without its challenges.
Chandrika faced controversy when a video surfaced of her tearfully alleging extortion attempts by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi to allow her cart to operate. Despite competitors setting up nearby, they failed to replicate her social media success. Recently, she made headlines again when photographed driving a Rs 76 lakh Ford Mustang, teasing a new venture possibly involving selling vada paos from her luxurious car.
