Usually we share the Internet from Mac on Guest OS. But how to pass Internet from Guest OS to Host OS on VMware Fusion?

Welcome to the Community - I am not sure I understand your questions - a guest can only gain access to the Internet through the host's physical NIC so the hos MAC should already have access to the INternet  -

This is not true and there are other scenarios that can and do come into play that can require the Host OS to gain Internet Connectivity via the Guest! Smiley Wink  One personal example that comes to mind when I was first using a Mac I had a Motorola Cell Phone that could only connect/tether to Windows and at times I'd tether the phone to a Windows Virtual Machine and gain Internet access on the Mac Host via the Windows Virtual Machine using the tethered Motorola Cell Phone.  Try thinking outside the box sometimes!
