Priyanka Chopra's cousin Meera finds worms in 5-star hotel food
If you are staying at a five-star hotel, the least you could expect is to have your most basic demands met: clean rooms, safety, an attentive staff, a safe meal, etc. However, during her recent stay at the DoubleTree Hotel by Hilton in Ahmedabad, Bollywood actor and Priyanka Chopra's cousin Meera was shocked to find worms wriggling in her food. Here are more details.
Chopra shared video of food; accused staff of being 'untrained'
On Friday, Chopra tweeted a video of the meal she was served at DoubleTree, which had worms inside it. "We are paying a bomb to stay at these places and they serve us worms in my food," she wrote. She also accused the staff of being "untrained" saying, "You'll be lucky if they will deliver the right order."
Been falling sick since I checked in, says Chopra
Chopra said in the video, "I've been staying here for the past one week and since the time I've checked in, I've been falling sick, and now I see the reason. For the first time, I could see worms in my food." In another tweet, she wrote, "I wonder why do they charge so much when they can't even provide basics."
