In the video, Frederikke was seen roasting the papad over an electric stove. After tasting it, she asked her social media followers, “Who is this man—and why does he make the BEST papadum I've ever had?! I bought this papad back in Nepal and haven’t found it anywhere in Copenhagen. I’m running low… if anyone knows where to get this or who this legendary papad guy is, please help.”



The picture on the packet turned out to be none other than Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan. Internet users were quick to clear her doubts in the comments section with witty reactions.
