Celebrity MasterChef is heating up with its latest challenge, leaving both contestants and viewers in anticipation. The competition is fierce, with familiar faces like Tejasswi Prakash, Gaurav Khanna, Nikki Tamboli, Usha Nadkarni, Faisal Shaikh, and Archana Gautam battling it out in the kitchen. Each round grows tougher, testing the celebrity cooks’ skills and creativity.
In the recent promo, judge Kunal Kapoor is seen exploring the bustling spice markets of Delhi, setting the stage for the upcoming challenge. Back in the kitchen, contestants are confronted with a task that leaves them bewildered. With blindfolds on, they must identify a variety of spices using only their senses.
As the challenge begins, Tejasswi Prakash is visibly puzzled. Struggling to guess the spice, she hesitates. Rajiv Adatia, determined to keep spirits high, urges, “Focus, guys!” His animated encouragement reverberates across the set. Meanwhile, Usha Nadkarni, grappling with her guess, faces pressure from Rajiv, who sternly demands she make a choice. Gaurav Khanna, ever practical, advises the contestants to rely on touch, saying, “Feel the texture and guess.”
But the spice guessing isn’t the only source of drama. A light-hearted debate sparks over which city serves the best chaat. Representing Delhi, Gaurav passionately defends its flavorful street food. Chefs Ranveer Brar and Kunal Kapoor stand by him, firmly believing in Delhi’s chart supremacy. On the other side, Faisal Shaikh brings the heat for Mumbai, staunchly supporting the city’s savory delights. Amidst the banter, Tejasswi innocently refers to Vada Pav as chaat, a slip that draws immediate laughter and corrections.
Usha Nadkarni takes a playful jab at Gaurav and Archana Gautam, quipping, “Bandar kya jaane adrak ka swad,” implying that some may lack the refined palate to appreciate the nuances of spices. The remark adds to the laughter, while Gaurav grins at the jest.
In a previous task, Faisal Shaikh earned the coveted white apron by impressing the judges with his culinary flair. Relieved to be safe, Faisal’s confidence is evident. But for others, uncertainty looms. The tension is palpable as they face the possibility of elimination.
With spices in the air and rivalries simmering, the contestants must now bring their best to the table. As the show nears its climax, the battle for the MasterChef title becomes even more intense. One thing is certain—this masaledaar challenge has added a whole new layer of excitement to the competition.
