Indian chef Vikas Khanna’s New York restaurant has a long list of high-profile guests, from Ambanis to Jeff Bezos. The Princess Diaries’ fame Anne Hathaway was the recent addition to the list after the Hollywood actress visited Khanna’s restaurant for a treat.
Vikas Khanna welcomed the actress and her friends for dinner. Later, the chef also gifted her the iconic Mysore Sandalwood Soap. He also gifted her a handcrafted marble box from Agra and the book Kiss in Kashmir by Monica Saigal.
Hathaway’s visit to the restaurant had an emotional link to Khanna’s past when he and his ailing sister used to watch Anna Hathaway’s shows in the hospital. Hence, the token of appreciation for the actress was more than just a gift by Vikas Khanna.
