Reactions to Lata Tondon updating her bio and deleting her congratulations to Hilda Baci as "Bad Belle"
Reputable Indian chef Lata Tondon spoke out when Hilda Baci was officially recognised as the new holder of the longest cooking marathon's Guinness World Record.
In response to the news, Lata made significant changes to her Instagram profile, erasing a previous post in which she praised Hilda Baci and removing all references to the record.
Online users, particularly Nigerians, who questioned Lata's past words of congrats to Hilda Baci, have argued about her reaction.
Many were quick to draw attention to the inconsistency in her actions, asking why she would erase her reassuring remarks if she didn't really mean them.
As word about Lata's upgraded Instagram profile spread, curious internet users visited her page to witness the modifications.
The lack of any mention of the record and the removal of her earlier post of congratulations have only heightened interest in Lata's position on Hilda Baci's accomplishment.
