'We're rooting for those chasing what they care deeply about and showing up for it consistently. Food is just their fuel and we're glad to be a small part of their journey,' he added.
Zomato has launched a 360-degree campaign across digital, outdoor, social media platforms, and print media.
Shah Rukh Khan said, 'I've only ever truly believed in hard work. Long hours, late nights, they don't feel heavy when it's for something you love. It's not about doing it because you have to, it's because you want to give it your all.'
Mary Kom said, 'Most days weren't about winning. They were about showing up — for training, for my family, for myself. It wasn't always perfect, but I knew what I was fighting for. I didn't start out strong, I became strong, slowly, one day at a time.'
A R Rahman said, 'Every day is day one. Even now, I feel like I'm just getting started. It's a joy to be part of an inspiring narrative—alongside people I genuinely admire and cheer for.'
Jasprit Bumrah said, 'Nothing comes easy. You've got to put in the work — every single day. Every session, every rep, even when no one's watching. Hustle is part of every journey, but no one sees it. Zomato is showing the world a sneak peak of that grind.'

Shah Rukh Khan wins first National Award: 3 books that chronicle his journey and capture his superstardom
Shah Rukh Khan has won his first National Film Award for Best Actor, three decades after his debut in Hindi cinema and nearly as long since the release of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), one of Bollywood's most iconic romances. The award, shared with actor Vikrant Massey (12th Fail), was given for Khan's role in Jawan (2023), an action-drama with a social message. His legion fans, at home and abroad, are celebrating the win, with many noting the delay in official recognition despite the actor's longstanding popularity, global fan base, and numerous commercial and critical successes. As the conversation around Khan's career and cultural relevance resurfaces, here are three books that offer a closer look at the actor's life, influence, and legacy. This book uses Shah Rukh Khan not as a subject, but as a symbol of desire, decency, and a rare kind of emotional connection. Economist and writer Shrayana Bhattacharya interviews women from vastly different economic backgrounds over a decade to explore their lives, loves, and limitations in modern India. What connects them all is a shared fandom of SRK, whom they see as a fantasy of kinder masculinity. Rich with data, wit, and emotional insight, the book offers a compelling look at what it means to be a woman in contemporary India, and why Shah Rukh Khan has become such a meaningful escape and ideal. It is as much about the lives of women as it is about the mythology of the man they adore. A 500-page, 4.1 kg coffee-table biography, Still Reading Khan is a visually rich and emotionally layered look into the life of Shah Rukh Khan. It charts his childhood in Delhi to his rise as one of the most recognisable faces in global cinema. Written by close friend and screenwriter Mushtaq Shiekh, the book draws on over a decade of personal access to the actor, combining anecdotes, rare photographs, and dramatic design choices that mirror the highs and lows of Khan's life. Among the more intimate revelations are stories of personal loss: the early deaths of Khan's parents, his struggle with grief, and the obsessive early love story with Gauri Khan, complete with dramatic moments like him searching for her across Mumbai and predicting, 'One day I will rule this city.' While the book is glossy, and has drawn criticism for its hagiographic tone, it remains one of the most detailed portraits of SRK, covering not just the stardom but also the heartbreaks, ambition, and reinvention. In this medley of biography and cultural commentary, film journalist Anupama Chopra charts Shah Rukh Khan's journey from a Delhi boy with a passion for performance to one of the most recognised film stars in the world. While documenting SRK's career, including his early roles, international stardom, and business ventures, it also contextualises his rise within the transformation of Bollywood and post-liberalisation India. Chopra's vivid storytelling and industry insights make this an informative and entertaining read. Even for those unfamiliar with Indian cinema, the book paints a clear picture of why Shah Rukh Khan's stardom transcends borders and generations.
