Indians’ sense of humour attracts me, says chef Gary

People here know how to make someone comfortable with their hospitality. Everyone here greets each other with a smile,” the 51-year-old said during an interview on Saturday. It was at the preview event of Gary Mehigan x Nicobar, which is a collection of products for cooks, kitchens and dinner tables inspired by the Indian and Australian culture.

When asked what attracts him to India, the restaurateur and the “MasterChef Australia” judge shared that it is the humour of Indian people, which makes him fall in love with the country repeatedly. 

He said: “I love the sense of humour of Indians very much. They can make anyone laugh with and I guess it is one of the main things that attracts me to India every time. If you pay a visit to some other country, you won’t find people with such great humour there, but in India and Australia, people have the ability to make others connected to them with their wit. 

The first thing I said to my wife (Mandy Mehigan) when I visited India with her is that did you notice how lovely everyone is? No matter whether you are in Delhi or in another place, everyone here is kind-hearted.”

The event exhibited several cooking utensils, which were hand-designed according to the theme of Indian Ocean, adding cross culture vibes to them.
