“80 year old couple selling best matar paneer. Inhe hamari help ko bahut zarurat he,” Wasan captioned the Instagram video. Since then #BabaKaDhaba became one of the top trends on Twitter, with people sharing the video on their accounts.

“BabaKaDhaba #dilliwalon #dil #dikhao. Whoever eats here, sends me pic, I shall put up a sweet message with your pics,” tweeted Raveena Tandon.

“Make this your next stop! Among many such others in your neighbourhoods wherever you are…. #VocalForLocal,” Nimrat Kaur requested.

Sharing the video on Twitter, Randeep wrote: “Do visit if you are in Delhi. Block B, Shivalik Colony, Opposite Hanuman Mandir, Malviya Nagar, South Delhi. #SupportLocal #BabaKaDhaba.”

“Let’s help put their smile back … our neighbour hood vendors need our help to. Red heart,” Suniel Shetty tweeted.

Swara Bhasker asked everyone to support such small businesses and become #VocalforLocal. “Dilli, chalo Baba Ka Dhaba par matar paneer khaate hain. Malviya Nagar mein. #SupportSmallBusinesses #VocalForLocal #ShowHeart (Delhi, let’s go to Baba Ka Dhaba and have some matar paneer in Malviya Nagar),” she wrote on Twitter.
