Akshay's stall 'Parkar Biryani House' is located opposite Star Mall in JK Sawant Marg, Dadar, Mumbai.
It's so nice of y'all to promote this ❤
Good job, The Quint
Good job ❤️
Pakka when I come india I will visit
Close to me ❤️
When he said kya tha kya ban gya
My heart said employee tha entrepreneur ban gya❤️❤️🔥
Correct 👏💯
Owner ban gaya*
Correct Rishi
Baatein hi hein behen entrepreneur. online media ne is word ko itna fascinating bna rkha hai.aur wo b bhot e km peso mein halat kharab ho jaati hai.
Pahle naukar tha ab Malik ban gaya
Chef is known by his food, not by the place he cooks 💯🔥
Yes, Omkar it's True... I also went to Mazgoan for my Taste Biryani ... Even Delhi Darbar & Persian Darbar is Near to HOme... BUy i like Taste of that Mazgaon Biryani
True
Man
But the paper matters
Golden worlds bro
"If it is a straight line, you are dead. If it is like that then you are alive". This line from Akshay hit me hard. Truly inspiring.
Ratan Tata said that once
@@pravarsharma7531 Thanks for the info. Didn't know this
@@anikeshsinha3073 welcome✌️
Really man same here
Lessons to learn :
1. Never forget the one who was with you when you had nothing
2. Nothing is permanent
3. Never loose hope
4. Never judge anyone
5. Skill is survival
6. Always Help those who are struggling coz your help may change someone's life.
sorry, my friend, nothing is not permanent, it is temporary,
Biryani has no religion like he quoted.
In Bangalore we have Malgudi and Donne biryani (100% owned and made by Hindus)
I also love to eat muslim biryani. ❤️ Love my muslim brothers from a hindu.
Everyone have their own story.
Lesson Learnt : Marketing of product is very important.
And Mother and father love is huge
@@FoodRecipes108 where are you from
but your product needs to meet the level of Marketing
@@forwardobservations8222 Agree and btw he was chef of 5 star hotel, means his product must be of top notch.
@@rajkumar.b yes
Behind every successful story, there is our mother who always inspires us with the most simplest yet powerful words.
And trust us even in our worst phase of life... the only soul that trusts us all the time ❤️
Now imagine the same thing with a wife..🤣
So can motherless children not succeed?
How can someone be motherless? Even if the mother isnt there physically, she will be a driving force. What I wanna imply here is the importance and value of a mother.
@@MrLuwangcha idk i have friends with abusive mothers. nobody believed them when they said their mothers were abusive, because of justifications such as “mothers are always doing what’s best for you”.
You will reach not only 70k but 7000000........ Infinity 😇 Dear Akshay keep it up ....and thats quint for such inspirational stories ...🙏
Ameen
His mother inspired him to get back to business. His girlfriend helps and manages his business.
Lucky chap!
He didn't say girlfriend broo
@@c4nn0n17 A girlfriend need not be a fiancee or a girl with whom the guy has a romantic friendship. She could merely be a female friend as well.. NO? Lemme know..
@@humungous09 sorry non native english speaker here I didn't know
Then you could have said his friend, jabardasti GF bolneka hai tko, aur fir bacho jaise explanation . GF is fking GF. Its not a Girl who is also a friend. Public ko kitna chutiya smjha hai be humungous.
It's fking not and you know it, don't tell yourself lies otherwise you won't be able to improve. Ye sab chutiyapa
Bachpan Mein krte they. If you still do those it just means you haven't grown up. Good day.
Very saddened but that's the reality. The middle class will leave 50-100 Rs as tips in hotels and here bargain for 10-20 Rs. 🙄🙄 More power to Akshay 👍
They will alsobrag about it that they are so good in bargaining.
Anyone noticed how neat, clean and organised his kitchen was in such a tiny space @3:44. And his mom is so supportive!
@Sneha Lata do you even know how less a hotelier earns? And he is not even a degree student he just did diploma...Even after so much experience maximum he would get here in India in a good 5star is 30-35k a month.
This is the beginning of a future billionaire. This man will be extremely successful and will own hundreds of hotels by his biryani’s name. 2020 covid will be his hardship story that will turn him into a legend. God bless him, his mother and his whole family and friends who have supported him. Thank you The Quint for sharing his story.
Dude in few years you will definitely own many restaurants dont give up!.. 👍
"I often think about what life was and what it has become. But it's okay. It's part of a life" Loved it brother 🤜
100th like👍.
Don't complaint about loosing your job... He taught a valuable lesson..
U r not starting from zero again. You have experience of 7 years . That matters a lot
👍🏼
Wait n watch this guy will undoubtedly rise up to what he was very soon.
India has very high population unhealthy competition and very uncultured professional ethics and hype of capitalism
@@FoodRecipes108 you really know very less about India mate, As a British citizen I have been to India yup they are over populated but Thier warm welcoming, that Love .You don't find any kid come near to you and say where are you from,in India kid's do mate, every country has their own pros and cons but eventually now a days lot's of Hollywood movies like TENENT, EXTRACTION,MI DO PREFER TO SHOOT IN INDIA. Abusing is what outside streetdogs also do mate. Appreciating is what humans do . Now decide who are you a human or a dog

@1:55 that's the tears of happiness from a proud mom ❤
This guy is full of Optimism. I loved your ending statement. If you're alive you're striving for greatness. Godspeed.
Everyone has their own struggling story many we know from media many we don't...
That's Why Media Needs To Show More Real Life Heros Than Stupid Politicians & Propagandists People
& Also We The People Need To Admire This Kind Of Positive Journalism
True..
@Heartthrob Goswamy Stop trolling man.
@Heartthrob Goswamy so what,you don't eat food cooked by a muslim
Bhakts: Biryani is not Indian food 😏😏😁😁😁😁😁.
Really Delighted to see Quint covering these Motivational stories for it's viewers 😍😊😃🤩🤩👍
His mother is his greatest strength!
"But, it's okay, it's part of our life"-How many of us think about our situations that way?. Hats off brother
Girl what
This whole story has given me an inspiration that never give up even if how bad situation you are in.
I strongly believe guy's like him are true inspiration. Making money is just by product of an idea and talent.✌
I live nearby his stall and yes i have seen his level of hardwork, whatever he do he do with heart...keep it up👍
Which place in Mumbai?
Which place?

The job was actually holding him back. Start small but start your own business, give up the security of timely salary and take the leap. This path is not for everyone.
Very much true
Before corona pandemic I was the teacher in private school...I lost my job ...So I opened a small budget ladies garment shop and I also started TH-cam channel for entertaining people and also motivating myself ......This happened with lots of people ...May God bless them ..😊
if he continues serving good quality briyani and remains genuine and modest, then he will surely go a long way, after all Rome wasn't built in one day and so forth his business will take some time to settle and be successful.
Rome?
@@Hm-dh1vu it's a common saying "Rome wasn't built in one day" which implies that it takes perseverance, dedication and lots of time to build something successful from the ground up.

When you suffer through the toughest time in your life, nobody comes forward. But the moment you hit the road to success, people start flocking around. Akshay was doing everything by his own and only one friend of his helped him to overcome. That's friendship. All the best star chef!
Love how he is not bitter in life!

Not everyone is that fortunate. My father lost his job of private clerk and my family is going through financial crisis.
And what you are doing to make
I don't have a job, my brother getting half salary since lockdown. Company not paying full salary despite luxury customers at the highest level. Father is retired. Don't call people liar online just like that.

This shows how ridiculously expensive mumbai real estate is. This guy was an international chef before crisis but was still living in a slum kind of place.
@Jck K yes not only mumbai almost all city have been has pumped the real estate price
Its too much in mumbai, 1 bhk price above 90 lakhs, its ridiculous.
Avg yearly income most of people in cities are 2-5 lakhs, how can they afford homes in cities,
Builder mafia totally ruins common man dream.
Police had to clear out some people because it was too crowded in that area now
Wow.
Don’t get jealous if you don’t want never show up in his business section.Are you maintaining social distance right now?
May god give you more strength,more power to you. I am short of words. Your mom is amazing.
This man can really do wonders in his life ahead. He has got such rich priceless experience in cooking.👍
Way moms are so brave... literally it brings tears in my eye what his mom told him how to re start from the scratches at 3.50
This is what keeps me going. These stories makes me believe in myself and others.
This is the current state of the nation and the media is busy in drugs. These stories give a perspective to life❤️
The fact that he is so positive.

Honestly while watching this video I had tears in my eyes you are an inspiration keep going. Love you buddy ❤️
I feel sad when people bargain for 10 -20₹ specially upper middle class waale.
Yeah, and they will shamelessl pay ₹2,500 for crappy 5* food that has no taste or effort except for a tiny quantity put in huge white ceramic plates before serving and the lighting ambience of those hotels.
Do you think people get 10-20 Rs for free ?? I would bargain for 10-20 Rs if the biriyani cost is more because for me that little money also matters
@@avineshkrishnan9290 yes. I agree but not if they r earning more then 1 lack per month.
@@avineshkrishnan9290 agree, why wont we its our right . We can and must bargain. Tbh we can't just go around donating for this everyone has their hardship even if you earn 1lakh a month.
If they are unhappy that people bargin then they should close the shop. Bargin is our right and its part of our daily culture.

Beautiful story. I am inspired.
Such a inspirational story. I always think my problems are bigger but after looking to such stories I really feel that we should take such changes as part of life and should always try to make new start
Atleast,he should not ruin friendship with that girl.because money will break them.
He should be always loyal to his friendship.
