The channel had already got around 7 million subscribers in January 2021, with videos getting as many as 40 million views.

Subscribers were piling up at rocketing pace. 

What has been a cooking channel has gone to a scale of the national channel when Congress leader Rahul Gandhi participated in the cooking. Rahul Gandhi has toured Tamil Nadu for the recently-held assembly polls and amid the poll campaigning, he had decided to take a break and visited the channel team and he then cooked mushroom biryani with the chefs. Rahul's cooking video had garnered national attention towards the channel and subscribers were surging, surging, and surging.
