It is a known fact that Indians possess a strong penchant towards spicy food, but a 40-year-old man from rural Madhya Pradesh takes it to a whole new level.
Father of three, Pyare Mohan’s love for chillies is so unrequited that he easily consumes three kilos on a daily basis.
Mohan credits his hot indulgence for his health and fitness, claiming to have never fallen sick even once in the past six years. Be it green chillies, fiery hot red ones, or even black pepper, he loves them all the same, calling the taste of chillies ‘sweet’.
His undying love for chillies has earned him celebrity status in his tiny village. People egg him on as he downs plate after plate of chillies. People also travel from distant villages just to believe the rumours they hear about Mohan.
