“Sudha Murthy’s simplicity is becoming really irksome,” one user jokingly commented on Twitter. Another witty remark suggested, “On Foreign Trips, Sudha Murthy carries her house along with her, what if the Hotel room was used by another person…” Yet another troll chimed in “Sudha Murthy carries her own chair in the aircraft.”

“Perversely I like the idea of Sudha Murthy carrying her little pressure cooker and pure veg readymade poha packet and maybe a battery run induction cooker to a fancy eaterie somewhere in the world and cooking her own dinner with her own spoons…” read another hilarious comment.

A photo of the UK PM smiling his way with an assortment of meat prompted them to ask, “You keep seperate cutlery for your mom in Law? And your children are not allowed to touch their grandma?”

All these remarks were in response to her recent appearance on the show, “Khaane Mein Kya Hai,” hosted by the food writer and TV personality, Kunal Vijayakar. During the show, she confessed to being a pure vegetarian and shared her biggest worry – the possibility of the same spoon being used for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian food items.

In her own words, Mrs. Murty said, “I am adventurous in my work, not in my food. I am, in fact, scared. I am a pure vegetarian, I don’t even eat eggs or garlic. What I am scared of, is that the same spoon will be used for both, vegetarian and non-vegetarian food” To tackle this concern, she revealed that she either searches for vegetarian restaurants when eating out or takes along a bag full of her own delectables. She goes prepared with 25-30 chapattis, some fried sooji or rava, and a cooking bag complete with a small cooker – all ready for her to whip up a quick and satisfying meal with just some warm water, News 18 reported.
