New Delhi (CNN) Chef Vikas Khanna is up late most nights connecting with colleagues in India from his home on the east side of Manhattan, New York. He has written 35 books celebrating Indian food, directed a film, cooked for the Obamas, and hosted "MasterChef India." I told him it's time to pay your country back by helping the poor and starving," Bindu Khanna told CNN in a video call. Family is very important to Vikas Khanna, seen here with his mother Bindu Khanna and father Davinder Khanna in 2012. In December 2010, he opened Junoon, an Indian restaurant in New York, and earned a Michelin star just 8 months later.
