Hyderabad is a city with a lot of different food options and cafes so this made the student’s concerns even more relevant.
The main thing people are talking about is how expensive places like One8 Commune are compared to what regular people expect. Sneha brought up the issue by questioning the price of a basic snack. It wasn’t about the specific snack or price but it made people think about whether having a famous owner makes food more expensive. People are now wondering if these high prices are really worth it because of the celebrity connection. So basically it highlights that people are watching how affordable celebrity restaurants are for everyone.
