Long Queue For Free Breakfast At Shilpa Shetty's AmmaKai

An X user, who goes by the username RetardedHurt, shared a video on his X handle showing a long queue for free breakfast at AmmaKai and criticised the crowd, claiming that people began lining up as early as 7 am, nearly two hours before the restaurant’s opening, and remarked that they 'responded like absolute beggars,' calling the crowd 'absolutely shameless.'

He wrote, "Look closely, none of them looks like someone from a poor family or who cannot afford 2 times meals, these are all millionaires living in atleast 2 3 crs flats if not less, problem is the mindset, anything free offered, people don't hesitate or think twice to give up their morales and become absolute shameless to even stand in line for kilometers on road just to get a plate of breakfast free."

The user added that while the government is often blamed for freebies, people are equally responsible for encouraging such behaviour. "Jab tak yeh soch nahi badlegi tab tak kuch nahi hoga is desh ka," added the X user.
