Kathmandu [Nepal], February 25 (ANI): In an emotional moment, Nepal s Santosh Shah, runner-up of BBC MasterChef UK: The Professionals wiped his tears off as he arrived in his home country on Thursday.
Dozens of fellow chefs, admirers, and onlookers welcomed Shah with garlands of flowers and rudraksha along with a wagon of cooked foods and rhododendron- the national flower of Nepal. I am extremely happy. A Bhanse (cook) is getting such recognition and welcome, I feel like I m in London. I wish other chefs also would get grandeur like this. Chefs from our country should stand amongst the world s Master Chefs, Shah told reporters as he touched down here on Thursday afternoon.
