I am crying hearing Vikas life story ! I am blessed so very blessed to even watch this ! Thank you so much for being you, you give hope beyond hope to millions today all around the world! shampa mum USA

[@nivekc8397]

The white guy interviewing seems appalled in the realisation that his parents were immigrants. And when Vikas Talks about the stories of the racism he faced by the white man and how he proud that he was better than the white guy, the interviewer seemed frazzled.

He is so himself that's why he connects to others. Many are not themselves but he is. He will even go longer way.

I wonder Vikas Khanna staying in USA for such a long time didn't get the accent like Priyanka Chopra got it in some years only! 😅

Interviewer is a very rude guy!Vikas Khanna is an inspiration 🙏🏻

[@sartmnia5236]

Lovely episode.. 😘

[@LiveLifeee]

Why does the interviewer keep on interrupting the chef? Definately not a worthy interviewer for such a legend

[@GauriV297991]

Vikas is just so humble n true to his roots..

[@asmashireen5790]

U stuck in telling the word "ingredients"..so sweettt😘😘

[@murlidharshetti1283]

really inspiring for me chef...

[@namitadewan3001]

This person is so humble

[@minalacharya8563]

speechless sir

[@heenamahendra2287]

I am really trying to understand the interviewer. He makes the chef seem so insignificant. The way he interrupts while Vikas Khanna is talkin, it almost feels like he is least interested in listening to him and is asking questions just for the sake of it.

[@maaidakausar9802]

Vikas Khanna is an incredible human being. MashaAllah Please keep it up

[@neutraldensity9531]

Loads of love n respect for u Vikas ji.❤️❤️

[@jeewssam8418]

Chef Vikas is a true inspiration, also a very humble human being. But I did't like this interviewing guy who was has no clue on how to flow an interview was also rude and abrupt. I wonder how he became the VP for the Asian Society being so insensitive to the culture.

[@nusratgull8405]

You are amazing man stay blessed and happy for everything my dear son love you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️😍

[@sonalkesarwani8530]

@12:09 he meant he had been seeing this in society how babies were born at homes, that's what he remembered..........but his response to the interviewer is so humble.............he accepted his thought process too.

[@ramniksingh2949]

He is very zen like that's why he is successful !!! He is pure n innocent ...

[@anupamapednekar7840]
