Watch: Vikas Khanna’s Sweet Gesture For The Office Actress Jenna Fischer As She Visits His New York Eatery

After being diagnosed with triple-positive breast cancer in December 2023, Jenna Fischer underwent chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. Now, she has overcome the disease and is cancer-free. Following the announcement of recovery on Instagram, Jenna recently visited chef Vikas Khanna’s New York restaurant, Bungalow. She was joined by a few of her friends for the dine-out. During her time at the eatery, she received a warm welcome from Khanna himself as he placed a marigold flower in her hair, as a gesture of celebration.

On Friday, Vikas Khanna posted a delightful candid picture with Jenna Fischer on his Instagram stories. Placing the flower in his hand, the chef looked cheerful whereas the actress was also beaming with joy. Captioning the picture, he mentioned, “Putting the marigold in the hair of goddess Jenna Fischer. Office was Radha’s & mine favorite time pass at hospitals. So many times the nurses joined us in laughing & forgetting our pain. Cooking for Jeena felt like life was completed in a full circle. So much love & respect for you. Forever.”

Jenna Fischer, too, enjoyed her time at the restaurant, even sharing her experience on social media in a post on Instagram. She wrote, “This dining experience was filled with so much love and care thanks to Chef Khanna who clearly puts his whole heart into every detail. Thank you for a wonderful celebration. I can’t wait to go back!”

Jenna Fischer recently shared her experience of navigating the challenges caused due to cancer. In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, she urged others to prioritise their health through a series of posts.

“Triple-positive breast cancer is an aggressive form of breast cancer, but it is also highly responsive to treatment. Luckily, my cancer was caught early, and it hadn’t spread into my lymph nodes or throughout the rest of my body, however, because of the aggressive nature of triple-positive breast cancer, it still required chemotherapy and radiation to be sure it didn’t return,” Fischer said.

Speaking of Chef Vikas Khanna’s restaurant in New York, Isha Ambani and Mukesh Ambani also visited the same eatery during their getaway. Signalling top-notch hospitality, the restaurant was decorated with roses and marigold flowers recreating the original logo of Reliance Industries. Khanna not only welcomed them with warm gestures but also invited them to light diyas.
