Impersonation is “not so cool,” Zomato stated in response to Khandelwal’s post. Hey Aman, I hope your ‘job’ resulted in something worthwhile. The concept was excellent, the execution was flawless, however the mimicry was not very cool, said Zomato in the comments section.

Hey Aman, hope your ‘gig’ landed you something meaningful. The idea was great, execution – top of the line, impersonation – not so cool.
