Michelin Star Chef and author Vikas Khanna launched restaurateur-scriptwriter-author Akshat Gupta's book 'The Hidden Hindu' on May 9, 2022. A mythology fiction novel, Gupta's 'The Hidden Hindu' is published in English by Penguin India and it is the first book of a trilogy.
Talking about the book, Chef Vikas Khanna said, "Akshat is a fantastic writer. His book 'The Hidden Hindu' gives a great overview of mythology with a blend of science fiction sprinkled on top. Despite his success as the owner of a restaurant business, his passion for writing can be seen in this book. Like all renowned authors he has seen rejections, but his determination to bring the story to the world is remarkable. 'The Hidden Hindu' is gripping, which I feel has also piqued Bollywood's interest and I am totally convinced that the visual depiction would do credit to his written words. I am looking forward to the other two books."
