Shweta Tiwari, a prominent television personality, recently posted a lighthearted appeal on social media directed at Tukaram Mundhe, the Commissioner of Maharashtra's Food and Drug Administration (FDA), after spotting a cockroach. The actress's tongue-in-cheek message played on Mundhe's high-profile role in the state's food safety crackdown.
Mundhe has become a notable public figure in Maharashtra through his stringent enforcement of food safety regulations and hygiene standards across the state. His aggressive approach to inspections and regulatory action has drawn considerable media attention and public discussion.
The FDA Commissioner's work has earned him recognition on social media platforms, with many users referring to him as the "real Singham" — a reference to a popular Bollywood action hero character — praising his no-nonsense approach to ensuring compliance with food safety norms.
Tiwari's post reflects the growing public awareness of food safety issues in Maharashtra and the widespread acknowledgment of Mundhe's role in addressing them, even as the actress's appeal was made in jest.
