Bill Gates makes rotis with American blogger in viral video, desi netizens laud his attempt
Seeing billionaires make rotis is not an everyday sight and so, when Bill Gates did the latter, the internet had a lot to say. In a recent video on social media, Gates along with an American blogger named Eitan Bernath were seen trying to make roti from scratch.
The video was uploaded to the blogger's official Twitter account. He captioned it, "@BillGates and I had a blast making Indian Roti together. I just got back from Bihar, India where I met wheat farmers whose yields have been increased thanks to new early sowing technologies and women from 'Didi Ki Rasoi' canteens who shared their expertise in making Roti."
In the clip, Bernath is seen showing the billionaire how to mix atta and knead the dough before rolling out the rotis. He also asks Gates how often he cooks at home. At one point in the video, Gates is even seen trying his luck at rolling out roti. Unfortunately, he is not as successful in it as his businesses. The video ends with the duo eating rotis with ghee.
The clip garnered a lot of comments. One user wrote, "Well done @EitanBernath @BillGates. Long live our Roti. Next time try it out with some healthy millet flour. While many apprecaited the efforts of the duo, others were critical of the rotis that were made. To say the least, some desis were not very impressed.
One wrote, "That's the worst roti we could even imagine. But a good effort!" Another claimed, "Fun video. But trust me, this video is more like 'How not to make a roti'."
