10, MARCH, 2026, New Delhi: Interviewing MasterChef fame Chef Ajay Chopra on the opening day of AAHAAR 2026 at Bharat Mandapam turned out to be an inspiring and insightful experience. Interacting with a culinary personality of his stature offered valuable perspectives on passion, perseverance and the evolving landscape of the food and hospitality industry.
