Mumbai-based baker Heena Kausar Raad has once again stirred up the internet with her latest culinary creation: a Spider-Man-themed biryani. Following her previous viral success with a pink-colored Barbie biryani, Raad's blue-hued rendition failed to capture the hearts and appetites of her audience, sparking a whirlwind of mixed reactions on Instagram.

In a video shared on her Instagram account, Raad showcased her Spider-Man biryani, complete with intricate web-like designs, prepared for her baking course students. Emphasizing the use of natural coloring derived from butterfly pea flower, Raad aimed to showcase her creativity while steering clear of artificial additives. However, the response from viewers was less than enthusiastic.

The video, which garnered over 20.6 million views within three days of being uploaded, elicited a range of reactions from Instagram users. While some expressed curiosity about the unconventional dish, others voiced their disinterest, with many urging Raad to reconsider her culinary experiments altogether.

Among the criticisms was a sense of fatigue with Raad's repetitive innovations. Some users felt that the novelty of her creations was wearing thin, with one commenter noting, "When your innovation gets too repetitive, it loses its charm." Others expressed frustration, with one user exclaiming, "This woman needs to be stopped before I pass away by watching her reels," indicating a growing impatience with Raad's viral culinary endeavors.

Amidst the critiques, there was a plea for the preservation of the traditional biryani dish, with one user demanding, "I want justice for biryani." Another simply urged Raad to delete her Instagram account, reflecting a sentiment of exasperation with her unconventional culinary creations.

User comments:
- "Biryani is more than just a dish; it evokes deep emotions. Some are now feeling it's time to unfollow as the biryani scene is not what they anticipated 😂"
- "Rest in peace, biryani 😢"
- "Heena, no disrespect intended, but it may be time to retire this biryani concept. I harbor no ill will towards you, but it seems to be reaching its limit."
- "Biryani has its roots in Mughlai cuisine... Why blend it with Hollywood? 😂"

These comments reflect the sentiments of netizens regarding Raad's latest culinary creation.
