TOI: NRI sisters want Vijay as their brother

Vijay Singh, who's currently competing in season 4 of MasterChef India, recently got a pleasant surprise when two of his fans wanted him to be their Rakhi brother.

A pair of two NRI sisters - Rachna and Bhawna Sarin - want to help Master Chef India, contestant Vijay Singh open a restaurant in their respective cities. Rachna, who stays in London, and Bhawna, who stays in Singapore, have no real brother, and want Vijay to be their Rakhi brother. They've offered to provide him with monetary support to help set up his business.

Vijay, who hails from Lalsot village in Rajasthan, says, "God has been kind to me that I am getting blessings from every nook and corner. Rachna and Bhawna di have promised to provide every possible financial help and support to me to open a restaurant in their cities. I always wanted to win the show so that I can help my father open a nice restaurant with the money, and I still want to. As far as opening a food outlet in Singapore and London is concerned, it's a big dream but if Rachna and Bhawna di want to help me, I am game. After the show gets over, the first thing on my agenda is to meet them."

Rachna sent Vijay a friend request on Facebook after watching him on the show a month ago, and eventually he became friends with her elder sister Bhawna as well. He says, "People regularly send friend requests and I accepted hers thinking that she's a regular fan. After a while, she started chatting with me and I also became friends with her elder sister Bhawna. One day Rachna addressed me as bhai, which really touched my heart. Then one day she said that 'I and my sister Bhawna want you to become our brother'.
