Many have dubbed Maharashtra Food Safety Commissioner Tukaram Mundhe as 'Singham' and 'Nayak'.

"I don't think anyone would dare with me," Tukaram Mundhe said confidently about any potential attempt to bribe him.

Several celebrities, including Preity Zinta, Manoj Bajpayee, Salman Khan, and Twinkle Khanna, have expressed their support for Maharashtra FDA Chief's dedication towards food safety.

Nearly half of the 12,000 food establishments inspected by the Maharashtra FDA over the last 100 days were found to have compliance issues.

The joke suggests that getting a "Tukaram Mundhe approved" tag could now be a bigger achievement for a restaurant than earning a Michelin star.
