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.
