When people from West Bengal spot a street vendor serving Jhalmuri (a street food similar to Bhel) they felt as if they just saw Breaking Bad character Gus Fring coming to life. The foodies took to film the man and made him go viral on social media, all for his uncanny resemblance to Giancarlo Esposito-played Gustavo Fring. Watch video:
