Khana Khazana is an iconic first food show on Indian television, which catapulted Chef Sanjeev Kapoor to nationwide fame. Very few know that the show was about to be shut down initially, with Hansal Mehta struggling and pleading with the channel to keep it afloat. 

In Mid-day`s podcast series, The Bombay Film Story, Hansal revealed that Sanjeev Kapoor was initially rejected by the channel. It was his unique recipe, Sham Savera, that became popular overnight and saved the show.
