Celebrity MasterChef has everyone talking as it nears its grand finale. The competition is intense, with celebrities pulling out all the stops to impress the judges. This debut season has been a treat for fans, who are thrilled to see their favorite stars take charge in the kitchen. While the show’s TRPs may not be soaring, it has created a buzz online, with countless videos and discussions flooding social media.
Farah Khan, known for her expertise in filmmaking and choreography, serves as the host, while esteemed chefs Ranveer Brar and Vikas Khanna take on the judging panel. The contestants have battled it out in a series of grueling culinary challenges, showcasing their skills and determination. The lineup featured well-known names like Tejasswi Prakash, Nikki Tamboli, Gaurav Khanna, Dipika Kakar, Archana Gautam, Usha Nadkarni, Rajiv Adatia, Kabita Singh, Faisal Shaikh (Mr. Faisu), Abhijeet Sawant, Ayesha Jhulka, and Chandan Prabhakar.
Over time, eliminations have narrowed the competition. Abhijeet, Chandan, and Ayesha were among the first to leave, followed by Kabita. Recently, Dipika made headlines by announcing her exit due to a hand injury, leaving fans disappointed. With the finale on the horizon, speculation is at an all-time high. Behind-the-scenes clips and leaked pictures have hinted at the top five finalists are Tejasswi, Gaurav, Nikki, Faisu, and Rajiv, who were spotted wearing golden aprons, signifying their place in the last stage of the competition.
Now, reports from India Forums suggest that Gaurav Khanna has emerged as the winner of Celebrity MasterChef. His journey on the show has been remarkable, filled with highs and lows. In the first episode, the judges dismissed his dish as inedible. However, with perseverance and a willingness to learn, he transformed his cooking skills, eventually making dishes that were, in the judges’ words, “unbeatable.”
Gaurav consistently impressed the panel with his attention to detail and artistic presentation. One of his most applauded moments came when he recreated Chef Ranveer’s signature dish, Dakshin Express, with stunning precision. The judges were highly impressed, showering him with praise for his growth and dedication.
As news of his victory spreads, reactions have been pouring in. Fans of the Anupamaa actor are ecstatic, with many expressing their joy on social media. The hashtag “Ziddi Gaurav” is trending on X, highlighting the admiration people have for his determination. One fan wrote, “If this is true, I will be so happy ❣️❣️ he deserves to win this show 💝…” Another supporter remained cautiously optimistic, saying, “You’re not a winner until the last ball is played.” They added that they would “wait for the finale episode before reacting” but had high hopes for Gaurav, believing he was “an honest & genuine person who deserves the best.”
"You're not a winner until the last ball is played."
So, I will wait for the finale episode before reacting on this news.
But I'm hopeful for #Gauravkhanna & will keep supporting him no matter what.
He is an honest & genuine person who deserves the best.#CelebrityMasterChef https://t.co/Tur3uKu3R1
