Vikas ended the post with a nod to the actor’s mother. He said:
"I've hosted 4 American Presidents & almost every major World leader, but cooking for my Maa & YOU at Bungalow has been the biggest honour of my career & life. You are our family, our sibling, our pride, our childhood, our love story, our greatest joy & our best representation. When you were eating at Bungalow & held my hand & said, "I've not come to just a restaurant, I've come to honour a place that represents our parents & our culture". I cried like a child. I know Radha must be proud. You are EVERYTHING. Bless the mother who gave birth to a LION KING."
