With congratulations and adulations still pouring in from all quarters, many brands and companies are also celebrating his win in their own way. Now, the owner of Delhi’s iconic eatery, Sita Ram Diwan Chand located in Paharganj, has offered free chole bhature to anyone named ‘Neeraj’ in an attempt to celebrate Chopra’s victory.
