Tim Cook is on a business trip in India to see the grand opening of Apple's first retail store in the country - the new Apple BKC (Bandra Kurla Complex). While relishing his company's success, Tim is cooking up a storm on social media as he was clicked gorging on Mumbai's popular street food.

The tech mogul enjoyed a plate of 'vada pav' with none other than Bollywood superstar Madhuri Dixit. The gorgeous actress introduced the local delicacy to Cook and could have tutored him on how to eat this Mumbai version of a vegetarian sandwich.

Sharing a picture of him enjoying vada pav at a city restaurant, Cook thanked Madhuri for introducing him to the street food. "Thanks @madhuridixit for introducing me to my very first Vada Pav - it was delicious!" Cook posted.

Madhuri had earlier shared a picture with Cook with the caption: "Can't think of a better welcome to Mumbai than Vada Pav!"

The Apple BKC store in Mumbai opened its door to the public on Tuesday and Cook tweeted: "The energy, creativity, and passion in Mumbai is incredible! We are so excited to open Apple BKC — our first store in India."

Several Bollywood celebs like Raveena Tandon, AR Rahman, Shahid Kapoor, Mouni Roy, Suraj Nambiar, singer Armaan Malik, and Farah Khan Ali, among others, attended the private store launch event on Monday evening, and there were selfies galore.
