On Friday, country’s top singer and composer Shekhar Ravjiani took to Twitter and shared a picture of an “eggxorbiant” bill charging him $24 approx. (Rs. 1,672) for three egg whites at a fancy hotel.
An entire tray of 30 eggs usually costs around $3 (about Rs.200) in local Indian shops.
Rs. 1672 for 3 egg whites???

The bill quickly triggered rib-tickling reactions from netizens on Twitter, who called the food pricing at Indian five-star hotels “eggstreamly” over-the-top (OTT).

This is not the first time that a five-star hotel has stumped a Bollywood biggie with an over-priced food bill.
Earlier, in July, actor Rahul Bose tweeted about how he was charged $7 approx. (Rs. 442) for just two bananas.
The actor posted a video showing off the fancy freebies like chocolate cookies and decorative flowers, while asking his followers, “Who said fruit wasn’t harmful to your existence?”
