The elated chef, Gitika took to Instagram to express her happiness saying, “When the call came yesterday, little did I imagine that it’ll be from Anushka Sharma’s home to prepare for her family lunch + guest today. A few messages were exchanged with her team to decide on the menu and there we are what you see on her plate today. Lo and behold, she surprised us by sharing it with her Instagram family and a repeat menu for tomorrow, really!!! Pinching myself to believe this…”
