A Sweet Celebration With Modaks
Modaks, traditionally offered to Lord Ganesh, symbolise prosperity, wisdom, and new beginnings. Vikas taught Deepika how to shape the sweet dumplings for the first time, while Ranveer watched with curiosity and excitement. Sharing the video, Vikas noted that the evening celebrated both Ranveer’s Dhurandhar success and Deepika’s modak milestone. Guests at Bungalow that day also received pomegranate and cardamom-flavoured modaks as a gesture of good fortune for the coming year.
A Personal And Emotional Touch
The celebration held deep personal meaning for Vikas Khanna. He revealed that the modaks were prepared using moulds he had brought from Siddhivinayak Temple, and he made them while standing in front of his parents’ wedding photograph. “I’m truly humbled,” the chef wrote, reflecting on the blend of faith, gratitude, and celebration that marked the evening. For Vikas, it was more than food, it was a moment to honour tradition and life’s milestones.
