Sudha Murty has so far not reacted to the raging debate on social media, but this is not the first time she has made headlines in recent months.
Author and philanthropist Sudha Murty has set social media abuzz with her comments on her food habits, which have sparked a debate about vegetarianism. Speaking to food writer Kunal Vijayakar on his YouTube channel 'Khaane Me Kya Hai', the wife of Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy revealed that she is a pure vegetarian, and that one of her biggest concerns is the possibility of the same spoon being used for vegetarian and non-veg food. She also said when she travels abroad, she seeks out vegetarian restaurants or prepares her own meals. Why is their so much outrage on Sudha Murty being a vegetarian who also carries her food everywhere with her.Is she not allowed to do so ? Her choice doesn't matter ? How does being Vegetarian becomes Elite or Brahmanwad ? How does that becomes Discriminatory ? pic.twitter.com/U7hZU5vJ9h What's amazing here is how the Murty PR team keeps planting these headlines despite knowing fully well that pics like the Rishi bbq will come out.It shows that they are confident that Sudha Murty fans in 2023 are that be dumb & will stan her even when it makes no sense. pic.twitter.com/ulK2C2Sckq
