The campaign started by MTV India gained instant support with around 800 university students in Delhi protesting on streets demanding WhatsApp to launch an emoticon for Biryani.

The reason for the protest was that the messaging service giant offers the usage of a variety of different food emoticons from burgers, pizza, sushi to tacos but missing from this list of emojis is food from the sub-continent cuisine.
