Bollywood's beloved desi girl Priyanka Chopra Jonas may live oceans away from India, but every now and then, someone makes sure she feels the warmth of home. And this time, it was celebrity chef Vikas Khanna who did just that.
During her recent visit to Khanna's upscale restaurant Bungalow in New York City, Priyanka was treated to more than just a fine meal. It was a heartfelt gesture that stole the spotlight.
