1. An Act of Kindness
Vikas Khanna, who is a renowned chef, a cookbook writer, a filmmaker, restaurateur, and a humanitarian but most popularly known as the judge of MasterChef India, has a huge fanbase.
Seven years back in 2013, Vikas Khanna was on a flight from Mumbai to New York via London. On the same plane, an air hostess came up to him requesting to meet a woman for a few minutes, who was eager to speak to him.
Khanna instantly agreed (we all know how generous he is), and an older woman in her 60s wearing a beautiful saree, with flowers in her hair, came to see him. He respectfully bowed down and said, “pairi painna,” which is a practice to touch the feet of your elders as a sign of respect.
The woman in her lovely Maharashtrian accent said that she saw him boarding the plane and so wanted to see him. Khanna asked her where she hailed from, and she replied that he might not have heard of the place as it is a tiny village, and she was married there in Kolhapur. His instant reaction was, “Yes, it is one of my favorite cities. The contrast of best jaggery to the best chilies.”
She smiled and asked him to laugh, too, just like a mother making her child greet. Khanna smiled, and she looked at him with watery eyes and then thanked him.
The woman then stood up to leave and told him that she watches all the episodes of MasterChef India only to see him smile because it reminds her of her late son, and it feels like his smile brings her son to life again.
Vikas Khanna froze. She gave him blessings and then left. Khanna then shared that whenever he feels low or under pressure, he thinks of the woman’s words and smiles to bring a smile to her face.
This is what kindness is all about. You don’t realize the importance of doing something good knowingly or unknowingly for someone, but it positively affects you too!
