Shilpa Shetty's luxury restaurant 'Bastian' in Mumbai has made headlines recently due to claims that it earns between 2 to 3 crores (20-30 million INR) per day. This speculation portrays the restaurant as a 'treasure of Kuber', indicating its immense popularity and financial success. Reports suggest that patrons often arrive in expensive cars, such as Lamborghinis, and accumulate hefty bills at the tables, further accentuating the restaurant's lavish image.

The co-owner of 'Bastian', Ranjit Bindra, responded to the claims about the restaurant's income during an interview. When asked whether the daily earnings truly amount to 2-3 crores, he expressed a hopeful sentiment, indicating that while the current earnings may not reach that figure, he believes it is achievable in the future, calling for optimism among fans and stakeholders.

The discussions around the restaurant's financial performance gained traction after writer Shobha De mentioned the staggering figures in her writing, suggesting that a restaurant in Mumbai could achieve such financial success during nighttime operations. This assertion has ignited conversations regarding the restaurant's potential, the celebrity culture surrounding it, and what such earnings could represent for the Indian dining industry overall.
