Vikas Khanna’s mother Guneet Monga took the Oscar trophy to the Golden Temple in Amritsar and this video is now going viral on social media.
Filmmaker and Michelin star chef Vikas Khanna’s mother has fulfilled what she said before Guneet Monga’s Oscar win and Vikas has got proof. Recently, Guneet Monga’s cinematic marvel The Elephant Whispers made India proud at Oscars 2023 by winning the Best Documentary (Short Subject) category, and the country couldn’t be happier for that. And just two months before the awards, Vikas Khanna’s mother promised to take Guneet to Golden Temple, Amritsar after her big win and a video of the same is now going viral on social media.
The Last Color director took to Instagram and shared a video of Guneet and the trophy being carried to the holy place by their mother. Along with the clip, he wrote, “From a dreamer to becoming one of the most powerful producers in the world. Here’s to you Guneet, you made every Indian rich. My mother said 2 months ago that if Guneet won an Oscar Yes, I will take her to the Golden Temple. ❤️❤️❤️ #thank you #thank you.”

“OMG this is so beautiful! Love that shot of aunty driving! @vikaskhannagroup,” wrote one fan, while another said, “Proud moment for all of us.” A third comment read, “You all make India proud and mighty Vikas ji!!! ❤️.”
Producer Guneet Monga recently reacted to not being allowed to speak on stage at Oscars 2023 after The Elephant Whispers won. The video of the ceremony went viral in which Guneet is shown holding the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Film in her hand, waiting for director Kartiki Gonsalves to complete her speech and take center stage. However, the Academy played her part by not giving Guneet an opportunity to speak.
Speaking to Bombay Times, Guneet said that she was in shock and it was evident on her face on stage. “I didn’t get a chance to give my Oscar speech. I had a look of shock on my face. I just wanted to say that this is India’s first Oscar in an Indian production, which is a big deal. My heart started racing because I couldn’t come that far and not be heard. I’ll go back there and make sure I’m heard.”
It wasn’t just Guneet Monga’s documentary that won big at the Academy Awards this year. RRR’s hit song Naatu Naatu also won the Oscar for Best Original Song, becoming the first Indian and Asian song to receive the honour. The song was also performed on stage at the Oscars. Celebrities like Allu Arjun, Rajinikanth, Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Kareena Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan, Kajol and many more wrote heartfelt congratulatory messages to the winners on their historic win.
