Following the confirmation of Hilda Baci as the new holder of the longest cooking marathon’s Guinness World Record, renowned Indian chef Lata Tondon broke her silence.
In response to the announcement, Lata made extensive modifications to her Instagram profile, deleting her earlier post applauding Hilda Baci and eliminating any mention of the record.
Lata’s response has caused debate among online users, especially Nigerians, who have questioned her prior messages of congratulations to Hilda Baci.
Many were eager to point out the contradiction in her behavior, questioning why she would remove her encouraging words if she didn’t really mean them.
Curios internet users went to Lata’s page to see the updates as word of her Instagram profile upgrade spread.
The absence of any reference to the record and the deletion of her previous congratulatory post have only intensified the scrutiny surrounding Lata’s stance on Hilda Baci’s achievement.
