Gayu's Kitchen's mess didi returns with pyare pyare rice, says she has ‘no words' about deleted videos, sparks concern amongst fans
For those who have ever found comfort in the simple sight of steaming rajma chawal or a sunny-side-up thali being served with love, The Gayu Kitchen was no less than a digital hug. Gayatri Sharma, fondly known as "Mess Wali Didi", captured the hearts of over 250,000 followers on Instagram and more than 420,000 subscribers on YouTube with her down-to-earth food videos straight from a humble hostel kitchen.
Gayu Kitchen's Instagram page is deleted!
But last month, she vanished. No warning, no farewell. First, her Instagram went private. Then, it was gone altogether. Her YouTube channel remained, but all the Shorts, the very soul of her content, disappeared without a trace. The silence since her last video on April 27 only deepened the mystery.
And now, Gayatri is back. Or at least, she is trying to be.
Is Gayatri back with her pyare pyare rice?
She posted two new videos recently, one from a friend's house and another back in the hostel mess. But something was clearly different. The joy, the spark, the warm presence fans were so used to... it all seemed dimmed.
In one video, after lovingly showing her rice plate, Gayatri acknowledged the elephant in the room. All her videos were gone, and as she put it, 'I have no words.' In another clip, she insisted she was doing fine, her job with the NGO was intact, and this was just a small hiccup, 'some up-down just happens sometimes.' But fans are not convinced.
Netizens are worried about her
Comments have flooded in from worried followers, with many saying her smile does not look the same. One fan urged her to open up, assuring her of their support. Another speculated more darkly, wondering if she was being pressured by someone, perhaps to hand over a 'cut' from her growing YouTube earnings, or to stop her content altogether.
Earlier speculations had pointed towards friction with hostel authorities. Gayatri's rising online fame may have clashed with internal policies or brought unwanted attention to the NGO-run facility.
What makes this all the more haunting is her final Instagram post, a cheerful reel of food, her usual loving tone intact. No signs of goodbye. No warning. Just warmth.
From working Rs 12-an-hour jobs to becoming a digital food icon, Gayatri's journey is one of grit and grace. But now, as she returns, fans are left hoping that the one who fed their hearts so often is truly being fed with kindness herself.

Archana Puran Singh talks about how being called 'fat' in childhood impacted her deeply; 'Even when I had 26 inches waist, I kept feeling that I am fat'
Archana Puran Singh and Parmeet Sethi invited Anshula Kapoor to their newest vlog. They commended her on her fitness efforts and then took her to a Mumbai restaurant for buttery Karnataka-style dosas. Archana and Parmeet have been exploring Mumbai's top culinary spots, but in their most recent video, they went to play pickleball with Anshula and then grabbed a bite to eat. They were accompanied, as usual, by their sons, Aayushmaan and Aaryamann. The video began on the pickleball court, when Parmeet and Anshula played a match against Aayushmaan and Aaryamann. Archana sat by the court, with a portable fan for companionship. She told the crowd that Anshula's fitness journey has significantly inspired her, and that she follows her Instagram stories. As they ate their dosas after the match, Archana enquired whether she had ever been pressured to enter the film industry. Anshula stated that she did not, and neither did other members of her family. "All your siblings are actors; Khushi, Janhvi…" Parmeet said, "Arjun!" As everyone chuckled at Parmeet's remark, Archana assured him that she was on her way. Archana was curious to learn more about Anshula's fitness journey, and she opened up about the insecurities she had and still faces, despite her accomplishments. "I've always been a big girl with a large body type. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like ¡Trading con IA en Chile ayuda a usuarios a obtener ganancias potenciales!

But I couldn't locate anyone in India I could relate to on Instagram, especially individuals who looked like me. "I had to order my clothes especially," she explained, and Archana agreed. The performer claimed that as a child, she was called 'moti (fat)', which had an affect on her mentally. She further said, 'It impacted me so much that even when I had 26 inches waist, I kept feeling that I was fat.' Anshula further quipped, "I can't take compliments. Physical compliments are a whole different story; they bounce off me. But even if you compliment me on anything else, like something I said or the way I think, an inner voice will say, 'They're lying'. Now it's better, but it's always difficult to change your default setting. But then you have to tell yourself, 'Believe it because you're working on yourself." They did, however, have some amusing moments. Anshula had her first taste of Parmeet's PJs, and when he added that certain meals are 'benne-ficial' - a reference to the type of dosas they were eating, as well as the name of the restaurant - the entire table grimaced. "I don't think I can be on your team anymore, sir," Anshula explained. She also termed him 'overacting ki dukaan' as Parmeet stared into the camera and stated that he would order last. "None of us have ordered yet," she yelled.
