She became a social media sensation after popular vloggers started posting and praising her food. Despite her ever-rising fame, Dixit has not been without her share of controversies. A widely circulated video in March depicted Dixit in tears, alleging pressure from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) to shut down her food cart.

She claimed to have already paid around Rs 35,000 to the officials but continued to face demands for more money. Last month, reports surfaced of how Delhi’s ‘Vada Pav Girl’ was arrested by the Delhi police. Not only this, netizens also claim that she faked controversies to enter the show. In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Bubble, she reveals when she was offered the show and talks about her admiration for Anil Kapoor and Salman Khan.

Talking about her infamous controversy, she states, “Aisa toh hai nahi ki delhi mein sirf meri cart lag rahi hai. Delhi mein har jagah cart lagti hai. Aur jaisa ki maine kaha mujhe galat bardasht nahi hota. Toh jab 2-4 baar paise ki wajah se mujhe dhamki mili toh maine action liya. Finally aaj sab thik hai. Uss phase ne mujhe mentally torture kiya but strong banaya. (It’s not that only I run a food cart in Delhi. There are several other people as well. But due to money, I was threatened 3-4 times and then I took an action. I am not someone who can tolerate wrong happenings around me. Today, finally everything is sorted. That phase was mentally taxing but it made me strong).”

She further shared her opinion on actor-influencer debate that happens in the house. She avers, “Logo ko influencer ki life aisi lagti hai ki bahut easy hai aur hum maze kar rahe hai. Mai audience ko batana chahti hu ki ek choti si choti reel ke liye humein bhagna padta hai. Humein din raat mehnat karni padti hai. Humara agar mood kharab bhi hai na toh humein smile karte hue camera ke saamne jana padta hai aur content banana rehta hai. Toh kuch easy nahi hota. It should not be taken negatively. (People think influencers life is easy and they only have fun, but that’s not the case. We travel places hust to make on e reel. Even if we are not happy, we shoot to deliver content on time).”

Lastly, she shared she does not mind venturing into acting if she gets a good opportunity.
