In a surprising turn of events, Dolly Chaiwala, a tea stall owner from Nagpur, unknowingly served tea to billionaire philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates. The incident, which has since gone viral, came as a complete shock to Dolly, who initially thought Gates was just another foreign visitor. Speaking to ANI, Dolly shared his astonishment upon discovering the identity of his distinguished guest. “I was not aware at all. I just thought that he was a guy from a foreign country, so I should serve him tea. I had no idea at all,” he said, reflecting on the moment that has now catapulted him to fame. Dolly, who has mastered his tea-serving skills by watching South Indian movies, expressed his pride in becoming known as ‘Nagpur ka Dolly Chaiwala.’ His encounter with Gates was brief but memorable, with the tech mogul appreciating the tea with a simple “Wow, Dolly ki Chai.”
The tea seller also revealed his aspiration to one day serve tea to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, showcasing his ambition to share his signature chai with more prominent figures. Bill Gates himself highlighted the experience on his Instagram, sharing a video of him ordering “One Chai Please” at Dolly’s stall. Gates praised the innovation found in India, even in the preparation of a simple cup of tea. The video, capturing Gates’ enjoyment of the tea, has amassed over 4 million likes, bringing significant attention to Dolly Chaiwala.
