Vikas Khanna’s Mom Flies A Plane After 53 Years And It Proves That Age Is Just A Number

Culinary God Vikas Khanna is not just a celebrity chef (with a million dollar smile) but is also an international icon who has single-handedly placed India on the global cook book. In fact, it is almost overwhelming how the three-time Michelin Star awardee is so many things at the same time; a chef, a restaurateur, an author, India’s hottest Masterchef, a dutiful son…

From Amritsar to America, his journey is nothing less than inspiring. But have you ever wondered where it came from? No, not his kitchen!

 

It is his beautiful mother, Bindu Khanna who is not only giving her son the motivation to dream big but also inspiring us to fly high. Vikas made us realise it when he took to Facebook and posted,

“My Mom Bindu Khanna had dreamt of becoming a pilot when she was young; with the support of her beloved father. But in 1964, there was a ban on women to fly planes in Punjab.

Since then it was her dream to fly. Today, after 53 years she flew a plane and the instructors were spellbound.”

He ended the post saying he is a proud son today. Who wouldn’t be?

 

His joy was also evident on Twitter when he posted a video of the flight.

 

He even replied with the same sentiment when somebody asked if his mom is a pilot now. 

But this isn’t the first time he has introduced us to his mother and his guiding light.

 

Earlier, Vikas had posted about the time when his mother knew he is meant for the skies while the doctors said he would never walk as a child.

“Your child won’t be able to walk like other kids”. Mom replied, “It’s your opinion, he is born to fly”.

 

Adorable, aren’t they?

Thank you, Bindu Ji, for urging us to push boundaries and proving age is just a number (also for giving us Vikas). 🙂
