In a recent news headline, Shah Rukh Khan’s wife, Gauri Khan, is the owner of the high-end eatery Torii located in Mumbai. The restaurant has been under scrutiny due to a YouTuber’s claim that it serves imitation paneer (a type of cheese). However, renowned chef Vikas Khanna has spoken up in defense of Torii and expressed his concern about the trust placed in individuals who lack proper qualifications.
On April 18, 2025, Chef Vikas Khanna responded on Instagram Stories to a YouTuber’s criticism of Gauri Khan’s restaurant Torri regarding their paneer. He stated, “For many years, I have been involved in the art and science of cooking. I have never encountered such misleading information as that presented by this YouTuber who claims to be a food scientist.
Chef Vikas went on to explain, “Iodine undergoes a color change when it reacts with certain ingredients like potatoes, rice, bread, cornstarch, flour, and unripe bananas. This reaction could potentially lead to cross-contamination, which is concerning given that untrained individuals are sometimes given credence.
He also tagged restaurant Torii and YouTuber Sarthak Sachdeva, who made the allegations.

Previously, social media personality Sarthak Sachdeva posted a video on Instagram showcasing his visit to various eateries owned by celebrities such as Virat Kohli’s One8 Commune, Shilpa Shetty’s Bastian, and Bobby Deol’s Someplace Else. He carried out an iodine test on paneer in each establishment. During his test at Gauri Khan’s restaurant, the paneer showed a dark-blue color, signifying the presence of starch.
Upon learning about this, Sarthak exclaimed, “In Shah Rukh Khan’s restaurant, they were serving fake paneer. This discovery really startled me.
The video spread rapidly online, even reaching the official Instagram account of restaurant Torii. In response to it, they explained the situation by saying, “The iodine test indicates starch, not the genuine quality of the paneer. Since the dish includes soy-based components, this reaction is common. We are confident in the authenticity of our paneer and the quality of our ingredients at Torii.
For the uninitiated, Sarthak Sachdeva’s video has now been removed from Instagram.
