Earlier in July, Vikas Khanna had warmly welcomed Priyanka Chopra during her visit to his New York restaurant. He shared a glimpse of her visit, which was adorned with fresh flowers, and showcased him tying Sambalpuri handkerchiefs around her wrists as part of a traditional welcome.
“People often ask why we decorate our glass ceiling every day. They say no one notices… I always smile and respond: It’s not just for those entering; it’s for those watching over us from above. Today, I adorned the ceiling for Malti Marie Chopra Jonas. Thank you @priyankachopra @anjula_acharia for making Bungalow so auspicious today. Today was a celebration of the upcoming Rath Yatra and the artisans of Sambalpur and Western Odisha,” he captioned the post.
