Guneet Monga's trip to the Golden Temple is a result of a promise made by the Michelin Star chef's mother to Guneet. Vikas Khanna's mother had promised to drive Guneet to the Golden Temple if she won the Oscar and the promise was kept. Share a video of his mother driving Guneet from the airport, Vikas Khanna wrote, “From being a dreamer to becoming one of the most powerful producers in the world. Here it to you Guneet, you made every Indian wealthier. My Ma had said 2 months ago that if Guneet wins an Oscar, I'll drive her to The Golden Temple,” with several heart emojis.
