Kushal Tandon’s restaurant which was opened in December 2019 suffered damages due to the heavy rains in Mumbai on July 21. The restaurant was thrown open to the public in the presence of celebs like Krystle D’Souza, Nia Sharma, Hardik Pandya, Sohail Khan, Iulia Vantur and Alvira Khan.
In an interview with ETimes TV, Kushal talks about the damage to his property. He shared, “We had stronger rain last year and even this year before yesterday – but I think the extra breeze that was blowing yesterday played havoc”
When asked about the loss and how much was it, he said, “Difficult to say but somewhere in the vicinity of Rs 20-25 lakh approximately.”
Unfortunately, there was no insurance cover for this kind of damage. Kushal who came to know about the damage through the guards, talks further about the restaurant’s business and shares, “Yes, it was pretty much a flourishing restaurant. But after COVID, the business hasn’t been too great. Moreover, twice it was shut down due to the lockdown. Abhi bhi bandh hi tha kyunki the time limit of the opening is 4 pm and business is more so after 16:00 hours.”
Kushal further added, “It was made with lots of love. I had called people from France to get a special cloth material to do it. It’s a 6,000 sq feet place. So of course it won’t be easy. But I am not going to wait. I’ll get it rectified soonest.”
Well the only good part about the incident was that nobody got hurt. We wish Kushal the best for the future.
