00:00I don't like cooking. I don't know how to cook.

00:03Obviously, the way to Mr. Narayan Murthy's heart was not through his stomach when he met you.

00:08Are you in love at first sight?

00:10No, maybe on his side, but no.

00:18I have heard that there are two things that make you smile when you talk.

00:23One is food, and the second is Mr. Narayan Murthy.

00:26Yes, people ask me, Mr. Narayan Murthy, your weight is the same.

00:33How much did you weight at the wedding?

00:34It's the same, but a little less.

00:36How do you manage?

00:38I say, thanks to my wife's cooking.

00:40If I cook like this, she can't eat.

00:43Okay, that's why she is like this.

00:46I eat well, but I don't know how to prepare well.

00:50I cook two, three, four times a day.

00:52Mysore puri, I cook.

00:54I make tea in a very good way.

00:57And in Hubli, we have poha.

01:02Poha is leading all our food.

01:05I love poha.

01:06We make 16 varieties of poha.

01:08In Hubli?

01:29You don't cook.

01:30What type of food do you make at home?

01:35Which community do you belong to?

01:39I don't like cooking.

01:41I don't know how to cook.

01:44It's okay.

01:44If you know so much, then what is cooking?

01:47I have been working outside since childhood.

01:51So, I don't spend much time in cooking.

01:56But I don't get bored.

01:58If no one comes home, we go to the hotel.

02:02I make paratha, dal, sabji.

02:06I know the basic cooking.

02:08Rice, dal, sambar, paratha, sabji.

02:12But I don't know how to do this.

02:16There is simple cooking at home.

02:18Narayan Murthy doesn't eat sweets.

02:19He doesn't eat sweets at all?

02:21Because his wife is very sweet.

02:23Yes, we eat all the sweets.

02:25I like sweets a lot.

02:28You have just come back from Paris.

02:30You travel a lot.

02:35When you travel, what type of food do you like?

02:39When I go out, I do adventurous work.

02:43But not in food.

02:44I am scared of going out.

02:47I am a pure vegetarian.

02:48Not even egg.

02:49Not even garlic.

02:51Oh!

02:52I don't eat garlic.

02:52Not even garlic?

02:53Yes.

02:55I am scared of going out.

02:57I have used both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food.

03:01It gives me a lot of trouble.

03:04That's why when I go out, I go to a vegetarian restaurant.

03:08Okay.

03:08Boiled vegetarian.

03:09Pure vegetarian restaurant.

03:10Yes.

03:11And I always carry one bag full of food.

03:46She used to take food with her everywhere.

03:49She used to say, can't you eat outside?

04:08It is said that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

04:12Yes.

04:12So obviously, the way to Mr. Narayan Murthy's heart

04:16was not through his stomach when he met you.

04:18Was your love at first sight?
