A food blogger, who wanted to invite her on his show, revealed how demanding Dolly Chaiwala was in accepting such invitations.
“Do you know how much this guy Dolly Chaiwala is asking? 2,000 dinars. So Rs 5 lakhs. That’s about 2,000 or 2,500 Kuwaiti dinars. That’s not all. 2,500 Kuwaiti dinars, plus one more person to accompany him, a 4-5 star hotel booking. He literally told me. He wasn’t talking to me, his manager was talking to me… And that’s for one day,” said the food blogger whose online handle is AK Food Vlog. The video has been viewed over 18.7 million times in the first 24 hours.
