"I still remember the day when I had to delete all the files of Devil Wears Prada & Sex in the City from my computer. I had saved all these files to watch them on loop on hospital beds with my sister. I don't even remember how many times Radha, @sammahmood & me have watched these videos. She loved loved @annehathaway & knew all the dialogues by heart. She was the happiest reciting every dialogue of DWP. And somehow I learnt it by heart too. This was her painkiller," he wrote.
"I deleted each file and tried to forget all these dialogues. Today when my beloved @anjula_acharia & @furhan_ahmad brought Anne to Bungalow tonight, each & every single dialogue & laughter came back to me. Somehow I was so happy to feed her. This is the only way I know how to show love & thank people. Thank you Anne for taking away her pain when we repeated Everybody wants to be us and laughed. I photoshopped my Radha in the photo right next to her hero. I know she was there," he added.
Set in the bustling culinary hub of New York, Vikas' restaurant Bungalow has managed to become an audience favourite in a short span of time. It was opened in March 2024. Recently, global star Priyanka Chopra was spotted enjoying enjoying the restaurant's culinary delights.
Priyanka shared a glimpse of the restaurant and thanked the chef for offering her a taste of home. She visited the Indian restaurant with her husband Nick Jonas, manager Anjula Acharia, and friends.
