While the Michelin-Star Chef has delivered food across the country, though he is in the USA, while the actor has been helping the migrants and other stranded persons go back home. The duo got connected recently when the chef hailed the efforts of the Dabangg star and named a dish in honour of him.

Vikas Khanna had named a dish as ‘Moga’, from Sonu’s birthplace in Punjab. Vikas recently shared how his friend’s father was ‘mad’ at him for naming the dish as Moga. The star chef revealed that his friend’s father wanted that the dish should’ve been named ‘Amritsar’.

He shared how Sonu was able to carry out his good deeds because of the blessings from Amritsar. “Sonu is able to do so much good because of blessings from Amritsar,” the ‘Uncle Ji’ said, as Vikas shared a photo from the Golden Temple in Amritsar.
