Danish is definitely a high roller! He got himself a whole KFC meal! Danish, baby, if you read it, here is what I think:
Wow, dining at the Colonel’s palace already? Slow down, Elon.
I can’t believe you took the KFC selfies! Careful, Forbes India might list you next year. You are bouncing from spam calls to chicken wings - true generational wealth in Kolkata. I see that you are flexing KFC like it’s a Michelin star. Dreams do come deep-fried!
And, yes, nothing screams ‘global tycoon’ like a selfie with a bucket of chicken!

Also, “They hate. They watch. Then, they copy.”
Bro… nobody’s hating. We’re just watching in secondhand embarrassment. You flexed KFC like it’s a private chef in Milan.
What exactly are we copying? Your $4.50 fried chicken meal? Your deep-fried Kolkata delusions of grandeur?
This isn’t a flex — it’s a cry for help with extra dipping sauce.
You’re not being watched because you’re inspirational — you’re being watched the way people slow down for a car crash.
