According to her, she admires chef Dammy’s passion but doesn’t agree with her action, which she has described as untimely. She wrote: “While I appreciate Dami’s passion, I must express my disagreement with her actions. Hilda Bacci patiently waited for five years after Lata Tondon set the record for the longest cooking time. Unfortunately, the Guinness World Records (GWR) has not yet recognized Hilda’s achievement by awarding her the certificate she deserves. This situation feels like depriving someone of their long-awaited dream and goal. It’s unlikely that anyone else would have considered attempting this feat if Hilda hadn’t done it. While competition can be beneficial, it should always be healthy and fair… #my 2cents”

If you don’t like it, tough luck.” The incident has generated mixed reactions on social media, with some people criticizing the lady for engaging in such activities, while others supported her right to do what she pleases with her body and her life.
