Recalling his journey, Vikas talked about the time when he was training at the Mughal Sheraton in Agra in 1992. He wrote how he overheard a mother scolding her son to take his studies seriously. He wrote, “I overheard a mother scolding her son: ‘If you don’t take your studies and summer homework seriously, you’ll end up like him.’ I still remember how the entire table turned to look at me.”

In the same note, he mentioned how he continued to remain dedicated to his craft. He added how Nita approached him for the NMACC India Weekend in New York. He continued, “So when Mrs. Ambani visited Bungalow with her vision for #NMACCIndiaWeekend and said, ‘This place represents us—our traditions—and honours our ancestors. It is our responsibility to represent our legacy & inheritance.’…Thank you, Mrs. Ambani, for your love and support – for helping represent India to the world, with beauty, pride, and grace.”
